Organization: Vital Voices Global Partnership

Position Location: Washington, DC

Organizational Description:

Vital Voices Global Partnership is a leading international non-profit organization. We invest in women leaders who are tackling the world s greatest challenges from gender-based violence to the climate crisis, economic inequities, and more. We are venture catalysts, identifying leaders with a daring vision for change and partnering with them to make that vision a reality. What sets Vital Voices apart is that we make long-term, holistic investments in leaders with bold ideas for change — providing them connections, capacity, a network of their peers, financial support, and visibility for their work.

Over the past 24 years, we have directly invested in more than 20,000 change-makers across 184 countries, who in turn have improved the lives of millions of people in their communities and countries.

It will be a hub of activity, events, and collaborations — bringing together women leaders and their allies to tackle the world s greatest challenges.
