Women Deliver’s Young Leaders Program trains, elevates, and empowers youth advocates to catalyze action for gender equality, including the sexual and reproductive health and rights of girls, women, and young people. Started in 2010, the award-winning Women Deliver Young Leaders Program is comprised of 400 youth advocates from more than 100 countries, with 300 more scheduled to join in early 2018.

The program provides youth advocates with the training and resources necessary to extend their influence and actively shape the programs and policies that affect their lives through the Women Deliver Young Leaders Program Digital University, Speakers Bureau, small grants, a scholarship to the Women Deliver 2019 Conference, and more.
The time required to participate in the program depends on the individual, but Young Leaders should expect to commit up to five hours per week.

  1. That is really nice. I am also in need of the best San Francisco venues for a fundraising event. Actually our community would be hosting that event for helping some kids so I was just wondering if you could help me find a nice spot in the budget.
