Young Transatlantic Network of Future Leaders

The Young Transatlantic Network of future leaders (YTN) is a flagship initiative of The German Marshall Fund geared toward young professionals between the ages of 21 and 35. YTN brings together young leaders to engage critically on challenges facing Europe, the United States, and the transatlantic alliance. Since the inaugural Brussels-based chapter was founded in 2009, YTN has grown into a transatlantic network that includes over 2,300 young professionals from across various sectors and fields with chapters in GMF offices in Brussels, Berlin, Warsaw, Washington, Belgrade, and Paris. 

Each chapter of YTN organizes an event every 4-6 weeks on a myriad of topics and offers preferential access to all of GMF’s young leadership initiatives such as the Young Professionals Summit, Young Strategist Forum, Marshall Memorial Fellowship.
