The Women's Leadership Project

The Women's Leadership Project is a new initiative by FHSU's Center for Civic Leadership that is designed to educate, inspire, and empower women to be the leaders of tomorrow. This initiative offers year-round comprehensive educational activities that promote leadership development for women of all ages.

A prerequisite to equal leadership opportunities for women is gender equality. Without this, women will continue to struggle with barriers to leadership. These barriers include but are not limited to social, economic, political and power issues - even issues of personal safety. As such, the Women’s Leadership Project will serve as a method to promote gender equality.

Though society has changed dramatically over the past 40 years, many organizational structures, processes, and cultural norms remain in place that hinder leadership opportunities for women and girls.
