Program Overview
When women advance, the world succeeds. Whether you are an entrepreneur, activist, non-profit leader, or someone with a bold vision for change, you can have a profound impact. We need leaders across every industry and every community who use their power, influence, and passion to make positive change. And we know that women’s leadership will accelerate progress in our communities, offices, and boardrooms.
About Vital Voices Global Partnership
We are facing the world’s toughest challenges of all time – climate crisis, systemic and widespread racial injustices, violence against women, growing economic divides and inequity, and much more. The world needs women to help solve the problems that are affecting people in their own communities and all around the globe.
For over 25 years, Vital Voices Global Partnership has been investing in women leaders solving these challenges. We have built a network of 47,000 changemakers across 192 countries daring to reimagine a more equitable world for all.
At Vital Voices we are “venture catalysts”, identifying women leaders with a bold vision for change and partnering with them to make their vision a reality. We scale and accelerate their impact through long-term investments to expand their skills, connections, capacity, and visibility. We know that women lead differently, and we work to celebrate and share what makes their leadership transformational: inclusion, equity, and a commitment to breaking down barriers.
