A place for nonpartisan debate

The McCain Institute for International Leadership opened its doors in Washington, D.C., supported by a $9 million gift from the McCain Institute Foundation, a charitable trust funded by U.S. Senator John McCain of Arizona. The institute is a nonpartisan and nonprofit education and research center focused on promoting character-driven leadership, as well as research and decision-making in the areas of humanitarian work, human rights and national security.

“We are moving ahead aggressively with our Next Generation Leaders Program, efforts to combat human trafficking and establishing a teaching environment for ASU students. We also will be building the first-ever ‘Decision Theater’ in Washington, D.C.” – Ambassador Kurt Volker, executive director of the institute
