A Global Community
Young Professionals in Foreign Policy (YPFP) is an independent international organisation that engages, builds, and amplifies an international community of young, dynamic, diverse leaders from all sectors of international affairs, to accelerate their impact on critical global challenges.
Since its inception in 2004, YPFP has forged an international community of over 20,000 professionals from 80 countries who are passionate about working together to produce innovative solutions. Currently, there are YPFP branches in Washington, DC, New York, Brussels, London, and Tokyo.
YPFP London was established in 2006 as the second branch of the YPFP organisation, and has since grown into a thriving community of young professionals with an interest in international affairs, who are living and working in the UK’s capital. YPFP London brings together university researchers, civil servants, private sector champions, entrepreneurs, foreign policy editors and grassroots advocates who work relentlessly to create content of the highest level for our members.
