The Alexander Hamilton Society

The Alexander Hamilton Society (AHS) is a non-partisan, not-for-profit, national organization that seeks to identify, educate, and launch young men and women into foreign policy and national security careers imbued with the Hamiltonian perspective of strong and principled American leadership in global affairs. Hamiltonians are united by a deep conviction, rooted in the history of the last century, that the world is a better, safer, and more prosperous place when the United States is willing and able to lead. Primarily through engaging in debate, our programming is critical to the intellectual and professional development of a new generation of American leaders. With the world more chaotic and dangerous today than it has been in a half-century, American universities are not providing our young people with an education that allows them to understand what they are defending and why. We believe that the American polity benefits from vigorous public discussion and our students frequently tell us that our events are the most engaging — and sometimes the only — debates that take place on their campuses. Engaging citizens from all walks of life and at every stage in their careers, AHS seeds the ground for the future of American foreign policy.
