Founded in 2003, Network 20/20 is an independent membership organization that helps prepare next generation leaders in the U.S. to participate meaningfully in public diplomacy and in the creation and execution of policies promoting global public security.

Network 20/20 fills two major gaps in U.S. foreign policy: lack of youth participation and lack of serious input from civil society in general. Network 20/20 helps correct this oversight by assisting talented mid-career individuals with new and vigorous ideas drawn from their experiences to refine their foreign policy understandings and share their insights with their peers.

Network 20/20 is the only initiative of its kind.
