Emerging Leaders
The WILL Empower Emerging Leaders Cohort Program convenes a dynamic and diverse cohort of approximately 20 emerging women and gender expansive leaders in worker justice. Cohort participants will discuss their individual leadership styles and work to hone their leadership trajectories. Together, the cohort will interrogate their political voice, enhance organizer sensibilities, engage in peer-coaching, learn ways to incorporate care/resilience practices into their personal and professional lives for one another.
Participants will include staff, worker leaders, and activists with experience ranging from strategic campaigns; policy and legislation; communications; research and education; representation and member service; and of course organizing for worker justice. The cohort meets virtually and (hopefully) in-person for three retreats over a 12-month period.
Eligible participants must work in a worker justice organization as detailed above; have at least 2 years of work experience in workers’ movements who are 35 years old and younger OR applicants who are 35 and older with between 2-5 years of work experience in workers’ movements.
Applicants must demonstrate a commitment to improving the conditions and working lives of women and gender expansive people throughout workers’ movements; have approval to participate from organization; and be willing to meet the requirements of the program.
