The Young Transatlantic Initiative (Initiative junger Transatlantiker e.V.) is a non-partisan youth organization dedicated to fostering transatlantic understanding and cooperation between Germany, Europe, and North America. Founded in 2011 by Jacob Schrot, YTI connects hundreds of young professionals, students, and decision-makers through dialogue formats, delegation programs in Europe and across the Atlantic, and public diplomacy projects. Amid shifting geopolitical realities and quickly evolving US-European relations, YTI serves as a bridge between experienced generations and young perspectives, advancing mutual understanding and democratic resilience across generations as well as across the Atlantic.
