About YSEALI Academy
Launched in 2013, the Young Southeast Asian Leaders Initiative (YSEALI) is U.S. government’s signature program to strengthen leadership development and networking in Southeast Asia. YSEALI seeks to build the leadership capabilities of youth in the region, strengthen ties between the United States and SEA, and nurture an ASEAN community. YSEALI is partnering with Fulbright University Vietnam in Ho Chi Minh City to launch the YSEALI Academy at Fulbright.

YSEALI Academy at Fulbright aims to deliver 16-20 high-quality seminars in the next five years to rising leaders (“Fellows”) across Southeast Asia. These seminars will address regional challenges from regional perspectives, feature leading regional and US-based experts in industry and academia, and involve individual and group-based, experiential learning activities designed to create lasting professional relationships between Fellows of different nationalities and foster skills which can be applied in Fellows’ careers.
