Elevating and Mobilizing the Changemakers of Our Time
These are times of immense challenge and exciting possibility for leaders in the field of reproductive health, rights, and justice. While determined feminist activism has made possible stunning advances in abortion access from Mexico to Nepal, Ireland and Argentina, abortion bans are taking hold in the US and Poland. Women Leaders for the World wants to support and guide non-profit CEOs and Directors in this fight. It's time to act now!
What we're looking for:
If you are in need of a peer and expert group from around the world to reflect with and reenergize, re-center your vision and goals, develop a new personal and professional plan, hone your skills, and obtain advice, WLW’s Virtual Spring 2022 Cohort is what you’ve been waiting for.
You could be one of 20 women non-profit CEOs/Executive Directors from anywhere in the world - working in service delivery, community education and mobilization, advocacy, strategic litigation and/or philanthropy to advance Reproductive Health and Reproductive Justice (RHRJ).
What the journey will look like:
-
Yearlong fellowship in a diverse, energetic and vibrant environment that includes workshops and webinars
-
Program launches with a day long retreat on March 4th, following 2 weeks of asynchronous learning
-
1 month intensive training happening twice-a-week in 3.5-hour virtual sessions delivered through strong facilitation and interactive activities
-
6 months of personalized executive coaching
-
12 months of expert advising tailored to your needs
-
Lifetime membership in a global alumni network from 40 countries

Meet Our Women Leaders:
“It is always very important that when we meet people, we seek to understand each other and know that we are not alone. And being a part of the WLW fellowship provided me with a heightened level of support, community, and resources. It was such a great experience to have a community there to get to know us, love us, accompany us and follow us through our social impact journeys. That’s one of the things that this program supported me with."
