Our second annual Pengyou Day was held on November 19, 2015 as a day of solidarity to celebrate friendship and exchange between China and the United States.

Last week, on Nov. 19, we celebrated Pengyou Day where young leaders all across the US and China joined in the “WE ARE ALL #PENGYOU” Campaign to promote friendship and exchange between China and the United States.

It has been one year since we launched the Project Pengyou Leadership Fellows Program. On June 19th and 20th, 2015 Project Pengyou Leaders from over 20 states gathered in DC to share what they learned.
