Leadership fellowship ’25

March – November

WHO: People with an organizational affiliation where their position is focused on the prevention of, response to, or policy change regarding gender-based violence. The fellowship is designed for individuals working in roles where they are responsible for programs and/or people. However, it is not designed for people who hold the highest level of positional leadership in their organization.

We are particularly interested in amplifying the leadership of individuals who are survivors of intimate partner violence, family violence, or sexual violence, BIPOC, trans and queer individuals, immigrants, disabled people, justice system impacted individuals, and those at the intersections of these identities. 

WHEN AND WHERE: The two in-person workshops will be held at the Amplify Leadership Lab to Uproot Gender-Based Violence at the Vermont Network in Waterbury, Vermont on March 19-21 and Nov 5-7.

Seven monthly 3-hour online webinars will be conducted via Zoom on the 2nd Wednesday of the month at 11amHT/1pmPT/2pmMT/3pmCT/4pmET.  

These interactive webinars will not be recorded.  Fellows will need to attend at least five of the seven webinars to complete the program.  

COST: There is no cost to participants. The affiliated organizations and fellows will receive capped reimbursement for air travel, mileage, ground transportation, and per diem for meals at federal travel rates. Hotel accommodation will be provided at no cost.  Organizations of the fellows will also receive $5,000 to contribute to salary and additional expenses.
