Apply: VVEngage for Women In Public Service

\"\"

Vital Voices is excited to announce the launch of VVEngage, a signature fellowship to support women leaders working within civil society, the public sector and public-policy making institutions, who are dedicated to making positive change in their countries. Through this fellowship, we aim to increase the capacity, decision-making power and effectiveness of women leaders in public life, shifting culture around women’s public leadership and moving towards equality in public representation globally. With the support of Freeport McMoRan, the fellowship will provide year-long technical training and access to a global network of change-makers in the public sector across the globe.

By the end of the fellowship, fellows will:

  • Hone their public leadership skills to be even more effective leaders
  • Broaden their capacity, confidence, and ability to engage on diverse issues
  • Build powerful professional relationships and collaborations with women public leaders across the globe
  • Make progress towards achieving their personal and professional goals
  • Inspire and teach others about the importance of women’s leadership in public life
