Across the Aisle 10 Year Anniversary

Ten Years Behind Us.
The Next Ten Are Ours to Build.

For a decade, Across the Aisle has provided young Americans with opportunities to learn, lead, and find bipartisan solutions to our country’s biggest challenges.

As an Ambassador, you were an important part of our story.
Now you can help build what comes next.

Join the Next Decade - DONATE NOW!

You Were There. Look What We’ve Built.

Whether you were an Ambassador during Across the Aisle’s early years or participated more recently, you became part of something that has continued to grow.

What began ten years ago has grown into a national community dedicated to helping the next generation understand complex issues, engage across differences, and have a meaningful voice in America’s future.

It’s work we must continue.

A Decade of Impact

Ten years of training young voters and future leaders.

Hundreds of Ambassador Program alumni currently working in public policy and public service.

Thousands of college students and young professionals educated in-person.

Millions of Americans educated online via our website and social media.

One mission. Helping the next generation take action on the issues that will shape their future.

But the next decade may matter even more. Your generation is inheriting a country facing enormous challenges.

America’s national debt continues to climb. The fiscal decisions being made today will affect your opportunities, policy priorities, and economic security for decades to come.

The next generation needs more than information. It needs what you received during your time with Across the Aisle — the knowledge, network, and training to engage with the challenges ahead.

That’s why our mission matters. And that’s why we’re not simply celebrating ten years. We’re building the next ten.
