Aspen is a place for leaders to lift their sights above the possessions which possess them. To confront their own nature as human beings, to regain control over their own humanity by becoming more self-aware, more self-correcting, and hence more self-fulfilling.
The AGLN is a growing, worldwide community of values-based leaders who share a commitment to using their creativity, energy, and resources to tackle the foremost societal challenges of our times.

Offerings and Programs
What We Do
Through Fellowship programs, global gatherings, and direct capital support, we equip exceptional individuals with the support to address humanity’s greatest challenges — working to create a world where everyone thrives.
Fellowships
Our cornerstone programming is transformational Fellowship experiences that move leaders from thought to action. Through moderated, text-based dialogue with a diverse cohort of peers, Fellows explore leadership models, construct their vision of a “good society,” and navigate complex global challenges while forging deep bonds that transcend geographical, sectoral, and ideological boundaries.
Fellowship is just the beginning. We provide a lifelong support system of renewal experiences, problem-solving dialogues, and collaborative opportunities. This trusted community becomes Fellows’ “first call” when facing challenges — a rare space for authentic connection and continuous growth throughout their entire lives.
We bring Fellows together through signature gatherings like the Resnick Aspen Action Forum, immersive place-based experiences, and more. These carefully designed spaces enable leaders to reflect, find renewal, collaborate across differences, and commit to concrete actions that address our world’s most pressing challenges.
We support Fellows’ transformative work through catalytic funding and ongoing experiences. From the McNulty Prize and Catalyst Fund to cross-sector initiatives like “Act III”, we help translate moral imagination into tangible impact that reaches millions of lives globally.
