About President Bill Clinton
President Bill Clinton’s core values of building community, creating opportunity, and demanding responsibility resulted in unprecedented progress for America during his eight years in office.
After leaving the White House, President Clinton established the William J. Clinton Foundation with the mission to strengthen the capacity of people in the United States and worldwide to meet the challenges of global interdependence. The Clinton Foundation works to solve some of our most pressing problems, including childhood obesity in the United States, climate change, global poverty, and HIV/AIDS around the world.
One of the foundation’s projects is the Clinton Global Initiative, which is a non-partisan catalyst for action—connecting people who have resources with those who have capabilities to achieve results. The Clinton Global Initiative brings together a community of global leaders to develop and implement innovative solutions to some of the world’s most complex challenges.
