YALE INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS LEADERSHIP CAMP

HONG KONG

The Yale International Relations Leadership Camp Hong Kong will be held from Oct 17 - 19, 2025.

Over the weekend, participants from Hong Kong and the region will dive into their role as a future leader and learn about the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs) and creating impact in their community. Students will also have the chance to practice their skills by pitching a policy solution for a global challenge.

Whether students are new to policy or an experienced MUNer, YIRLC Hong Kong would be a enriching experience for students who hope to make a global impact on the world. Please note that we can only take participants who are 13 - 18 years old.

The early registration fee of $249 USD includes 4 meals during YIRLC. After Aug 31, the regular conference fee will be $275 USD.

We are excited to announce our school venue partner soon!
