About Opportunity

Since 2019, the McCain Fellowship for Freedom (MFF) brings together a cohort of young leaders from around the world to the United States for an exchange with policy makers, thought leaders, American entrepreneurs, and others to gain insights and build networks necessary to fostering resilient democracies rooted in economic freedom.

The MFF encourages peer-to-peer learning, provides targeted training, and cultivates a generation of political changemakers who are building more inclusive, transparent, and resilient democracies powered by free markets. The Fellowship honors the spirit and legacy of 25-year IRI Chairman Senator John McCain, a passionate advocate of democracy around the world and former Chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee, who believed that “free markets are not possible without free people.”

IRI’s McCain Fellowship encourages peer-to-peer learning, provides targeted training, and cultivates a generation of political changemakers who are building more inclusive, transparent, and resilient democracies powered by free markets. Through a virtual technical assistance program, Fellows will have access to a global network of technical experts covering a range of issues.  

Each year, the Fellowship culminates in an Exchange where Fellows participate in discussions designed to cultivate their skills and networks to create positive change and support democratic resiliency. In the 2023 exchange, key sessions included workshops on national and local governance; meetings with business and tech leaders, including representatives from Amazon Web Services, Google and the Business Roundtable; and learning sessions on democratic practices, campaign management, and policymaking with leaders such as Ambassador Mark Green of the Wilson Center, who served as IRI President under Sen. McCain’s Chairmanship.
