Global Womens Leadership Network

The Global Need for Gender Equity. Founded in 2004, Global Women's Leadership Network (GWLN) is a non-profit organization focused on radically expanding the leadership capacity of women and girls, globally. We prepare women to be leaders or more impactful leaders to create social change around the world.

Our approach is to offer Transformational Leadership Education and create Regional Alliances of organizations focused on empowering women and girls. Alliance members are catalysts who support collaborative action to accelerate change and scale impact.

Based on a combination of expert teaching staff and coaching, women graduate from the program with broader visions and ready to make bold, breakthrough changes.Your support will fund the next WLW program which is scheduled for Spring 2015. Many of the participants come from developing countries and will need help with partial or full scholarships to attend.
