ABOUT US
Who we are
Learn more about who we are and how we serve our mission.
Global Americans is an independent, nonpartisan think tank committed to providing valuable research and analysis for government officials, business executives, journalists, academics, and others interested in Latin America and the Caribbean. Our mission is to contribute towards a deeper understanding of how public and business policy decisions in the U.S., Latin America, the Caribbean and elsewhere impact each other and the region.
Founded in 2015, Global Americans operates from New York City and Washington, DC, and provides content virtually to remain accessible for leaders, thinkers, and other stakeholders across the Western Hemisphere. It is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, funded through non-governmental sponsorship and individual donations. This independent funding allows Global Americans to remain strictly nonpartisan, and the organization takes no institutional positions on matters of policy.

Careers & Internships
Why Now?
We are in a moment of profound transformation — where shifting geopolitical alliances, groundbreaking technological disruption, and shifts in democratic governance are redefining the international order. These forces are redefining the very fabric of our reality. In this context, expanding strategic cooperation with our closest neighbors is not just smart — it’s a geostrategic imperative. A more prosperous, freer, and more secure Americas means more jobs, greater innovation, safer supply chains, energy autonomy, and less dependence on foreign adversaries.
In today’s hyper-polarized world — torn between globalism and nationalism, open markets and protectionism, equity and meritocracy — negative narratives too often drive the conversation. Across the globe, the contributions of Latinos are driving transformational change — yet these remarkable stories of impact and success often remain untold.
As a reflection of their strong connection to the economies to which they are connected, Americans in the U.S. with roots in Latin America alone represent the equivalent of the world’s 5th largest economy, employ 3 million Americans, and bring trillions every year to the economy. And though Latin America’s separate economies may seem small, together they make up more than 7 percent of global GDP, positioning the region as the fourth largest economic force after the United States, the European Union, and China. If we activate these forces, we can unlock the Americas Dream — a new era of hemispheric prosperity rooted in regional economic integration and a strong U.S. economy — and rewrite the future of the Americas and the world.
