Vital Voices Grassroots Voices Program 2025 for young women leaders .

Application Deadline:  November 27, 2024.

Applications are now open for the Vital Voices Grassroots Voices Program. Grassroots Voices is a 7-week program that supports young women leaders who are implementing community-focused projects. We give them the training, resources, and mentorship to level up and make their vision a reality. 

Young women everywhere are engaged in exactly this kind of community-centered organizing. They identify problems and are working to solve them. Grassroots Voices is designed to amplify their work and boost their skills so they can transform their communities – and then the world. 

Program Highlights 

• Leadership training and development  
• Mentorship from an individually matched mentor 
• Travel to Washington, D.C., with cohort to meet with women leaders 
• Opportunity to apply for a project grant  

Participants in Grassroots Voices are young women, ages 18-25 and based in the U.S., who are already engaged in grassroots justice work on some of the biggest obstacles that American society faces today, like mass incarceration, social inequity and pay gaps, reproductive justice, and more. 

Program Details

• Participants will be part of an intimate program, joining a tight-knit cohort of other young women leaders who are as passionate as they are about reimagining what life in their communities could be. Together, they’ll have the chance to travel to Washington, D.C., for an in-person event at the Vital Voices Global Headquarters for Women’s Leadership. They’ll meet women leaders from the Vital Voices Global Network and attend our inspiring Global Leadership Awards, coming away with the motivation and support to continue their work.
