Accepting Applications: 2026 Minnesota/Young American Leaders Program


The Minnesota Young American Leaders Program (MYALP) started in 2019 and takes place at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities campus. The Program was launched from a partnership between the University of Minnesota's Center for Integrative Leadership, GREATER MSP’s Itasca Project, and Harvard Business School (HBS), and shares themes as well as selected faculty and content with the national Young American Leaders Program (YALP), which has been held in Boston since 2015. Both Programs focus on the US and regional competitiveness, shared prosperity, and cross-sector collaborations, and both seek to create relationships among civically focused leaders in our region and state.

 

Thus far, close to 400 Minnesota participants have participated in one of the two Programs building the connective tissue for cross-sector leadership across for-profit, non-profit, and government sectors in their communities.

 

MYALP 2026 will be welcoming cohorts from Greater Duluth, Greater Fargo-Moorhead, Greater Mankato, Greater Minneapolis-St. Paul, Greater Rochester, and Greater St. Cloud, and will be held May 17-20, 2026 at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities campus in Minneapolis, MN.

 

YALP 2026 will be welcoming cohorts from Minneapolis-St. Paul (as well as 13 other cities across the US), and will be held June 23-26, 2026 at Harvard Business School in Boston, MA. Please see the attached brochure for more information.

 

Nominations are now open and will remain open until October 30, 2025. Applications are now open and are due no later than November 20, 2025.

Nominations are not required. Interested individuals are welcome to apply directly and do not need to self-nominate.
