The Presidential Precinct engages and inspires emerging leaders to address the most pressing challenges in their countries. We seek to draw out the best from these leaders through professional fellowships, leadership exchanges, global forums, and virtual resources with six primary areas of focus: women’s empowerment, economic opportunity, good governance, human rights and justice, cultural heritage, and civic engagement. Over 1,400 leaders from more than 170 countries have joined the Presidential Precinct’s programs and returned home to invest their knowledge, expertise, and networks to transform the lives of millions worldwide. The Precinct sits at the center of a five-member consortium, consisting of two premier universities – the University of Virginia and William & Mary – and three internationally renowned historic sites – James Madison’s Montpelier, James Monroe’s Highland, and Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello.

From Presidential Precinct Fellow to President & CEO.

Toyosi Ogunseye first came to the Presidential Precinct from Nigeria in 2014. Today, she leads the organization that once invested in her own leadership journey. That journey captures what today is all about. When we invest in a leader, we invest in everything they may go on to do.

On this International Day of Democracy, join Toyosi and the Presidential Precinct community in developing better leaders for a better world. Give today: https://presidentialprecinct.org/giving-day

You see the Fellows who come to Virginia. What you don’t always see are the people who make those experiences possible. That’s you.

Tomorrow is our Day of Giving, and every person who gives becomes part of the story of a leader working to strengthen their community. Thanks to a generous donor, each donation will be matched by $1,000—regardless of the amount you give.

You don’t have to wait. Early giving is open now: https://presidentialprecinct.org/giving-day

What makes a great leader?

We asked our Global Democracy Fellows. Their answers reminded us that leadership isn’t simply about having a vision. It’s about listening, serving, building trust, and having the courage to act. Those are the leaders we invest in.

This September 15, your support helps the Presidential Precinct equip rising leaders from around the world with the knowledge, skills, and connections to make a difference.

Meet the 2026 Judicial Fellows. 🌎⚖️

This month, 25 distinguished judges and judicial leaders from around the world will come together in Washington, D.C., and Virginia for the 2026 Judicial Fellowship Program, presented in partnership with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation.

Representing diverse courts, legal traditions, and regions of the world, this year’s Fellows are working at the forefront of some of the most consequential issues facing justice systems today—from judicial independence and anti-corruption to human rights, access to justice, institutional reform, and public trust.

Over two immersive weeks, they will exchange ideas with one another and engage with judges, scholars, legal professionals, and institutions across the United States—all while building relationships that extend far beyond the Fellowship itself.

We are thrilled to welcome this remarkable cohort into the Presidential Precinct community and look forward to the conversations, connections, and collaborations ahead.

At the Presidential Precinct, we bring rising leaders together to challenge their assumptions, strengthen their skills, and learn from one another. On September 15, you can help make that growth possible.

⚖️ The International Judicial Exchange is officially underway!

Together with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation, the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts, and the National Center for State Courts, we’re connecting Judicial Fellowship Program alumni with U.S. federal and state judges for six months of peer-to-peer exchange.

Strong, independent courts help create communities where people can expect fairness, businesses can invest with confidence, and democracy can thrive. Investing in judicial leaders is an investment in stability.

We’re excited to see where these conversations—and new relationships—lead. 🌍⚖️
