The Pacific Century Fellows Program - Marianas Chapter is a leadership development program modeled after the Pacific Century Fellows of Hawaii, with the same objective of developing potential leaders by creating leadership learning opportunities and experiences of the Commonwealth of Northern Mariana Islands.

In 1996, Hawaii’s Pacific Century Fellows program drew its inspiration from the White House Fellows Program, which was founded by President Lyndon B. Johnson in 1964.  Mufi Hannemann, former Mayor of Honolulu, founded Hawaii's PCF program and was a White House Fellows member himself during President Ronald Reagan’s administration.
