About Us
The Power of Place and Power of Ideas
We start with the power of visionary leaders. We bring them to the Commonwealth of Virginia to foster the exchange of ideas and solutions from the world around us.
The ideas which shaped the American democracy created monumental changes that remain a touchstone throughout our world; and yet, the pillars of our democracy are strongest when they are discussed and influenced by the unique perspectives of global community leaders.
This is why we work with the world's brightest changemakers—most between the ages of 25 to 35—from all regions.
These inspirational people have a track record of achievement and a commitment to lead. At the Presidential Precinct, we seek to draw out their best through professional fellowships, leadership exchanges, global forums, and virtual resources that focus on building thriving, just, and free societies.
Learn About Our Programs Meet Our Alumni
Our work is made possible by the world-class expertise of a five-member consortium, consisting of two premier universities – the University of Virginia and William & Mary – and three internationally renowned historic sites – James Madison’s Montpelier, James Monroe’s Highland, and Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello.
Our vision blossoms when our alumni return home to invest their newfound knowledge, expertise, and networks. They remain connected to a global community with shared goals in the Presidential Precinct Network. Every day, they realize our hopes for a better world, and we are honored to help them on their journey.
