Young Leaders Circle

Become a Young Leader

The Young Leaders Circle is a young professional program of the Pacific Research Institute, a non-partisan, free market think tank based in San Francisco. The Young Leaders Circle is geared toward young professionals who are interested in public policy, state and federal politics, and discussions on industry trends through the free market lens.

The Young Leaders Circle holds speakers, panels, and networking events and regularly shares new studies, op-eds, and analysis from Pacific Research Institute scholars on current events, public policies, and more. The Young Leaders Circle believes in promoting honest, respectful discussions with thought-leaders, industry experts, and more.
