YPFP's membership spans 80 countries and a network of over 20,000 young professionals active in the field of foreign policy. Members are screened and selected from a broader pool of applicants and each pay membership dues to support organizational programming and services. Members are drawn from a variety of global institutions, government agencies, nonprofits, media groups, graduate programs, and corporations that span a diverse array of sectors.

The fellowship program at YPFP is an eight-month fellowship designed to give future leaders in foreign policy the skills they will need to succeed throughout their careers. Fellows develop their expertise by writing regular articles for a variety of national and international media outlets, such as The Hill, Diplomatic Courier, and Real Clear Politics. Fellows specialize in a specific region or a specific issue area.

YPFP also receives grant funding for projects from foundations across the United States.
