Our Approach

Transforming Leaders

Through our 14 geographic and sector-specific Fellowships, we provide an opportunity for a highly diverse community of proven, high-integrity, entrepreneurial leaders to pause, reflect, and refine how they lead in their homes, at work and in the world at large. Using the Aspen Institute's time-tested leadership seminar model, we challenge them to “paint their lives on a broader canvas” and to stretch and do more for their societies.
Moving the Needle

Through their leadership ventures, Fellows in the Aspen Global Leadership Network are using their passions, skills, and resources in new and creative ways to solve the world's most pressing problems. With over 2,500 ventures launched, Fellows have used their platforms to close educational achievement gaps, improve access to health care, raise financial literacy, create new jobs, fight domestic violence, build new pipelines of ethical leadership, and much, much more.

Our Fellowships

All Aspen Global Leadership Network Fellowships are modeled after the Aspen Institute’s flagship values-based leadership program, the Henry Crown Fellowship. Each year, programs choose classes of 20-22 leaders to engage in a thought-provoking journey of personal exploration – to move beyond success to a place of growing significance in the world. Through the Aspen Institute’s signature leadership seminars, Fellows are provided a forum for deep introspection and probing dialogue with a diverse cohort of trusted peers, while the required the leadership venture offers a way for Fellows to stretch their leadership in new ways in order to take action on a pressing societal challenge.
