The
Global Change Leaders Program is a seven-week education program offered by Coady
Institute’s International Centre for Women’s Leadership. This
program enables women from developing countries to strengthen their leadership
capacities in order to contribute to innovation and change in their
organizations and communities. Program participants engage in learning
grounded in real world experiences and focused on Coady’s core thematic
areas. Through a shared learning environment with other emerging women leaders
from around the world, participants are exposed to a range of experiences and
the beginnings of a potentially
lifelong network of support.
In
operation since 2011, the Global Change Leaders program provides successful
candidates with a full scholarship that includes tuition, travel,
accommodations, and meals. Program participants also benefit from the guidance
and mentorship of accomplished women leaders from around the world. The program
is led by a core team of Coady International Institute staff and supported by
other Coady faculty and associates.
