PH in Asia-Pacific

Asia-Pacific Programs & Partnerships

PH leads dynamic exchange programs across the Asia-Pacific region, connecting emerging leaders with peers, mentors, and communities in the United States.

Following two years of the Burma Youth Leadership Program, we are now in our second year of the Youth Ambassadors Program – East Asia Pacific and continue to lead the Hong Kong–Macau Education Summer Scholarship Program.

In 2025, we welcomed more than 30 youth (ages 15–18) and mentors from the Philippines and Pacific Island nations to the United States, while also engaging virtually with youth from Myanmar. Together, they explored leadership, community impact, and cross-cultural collaboration — building the networks, confidence, and global perspective that shape future leaders.

We look forward to welcoming the next cohort in 2026.

Countries we’ve worked with:

  • Bangladesh
  • Fiji
  • Kiribati
  • Mongolia
  • Myanmar (Burma)
  • Nauru
  • Nepal
  • Papua New Guinea
  • Thailand
  • The Philippines
  • The Solomon Islands
  • Tuvalu
  • Vanuatu
Burma Youth Leadership Program students share a traditional dance with their host families in Vermont, celebrating culture and building connections.
