Policy, Leadership & Media Programs

Virginia Women’s Voices Policy Institute: By bringing together academic, business, and social justice communities along with policy leaders and community stakeholders, we break down siloed thinking, co-create solutions to obstacles impacting women’s and girls’ opportunities, and invest in ideas that empower women and girls to thrive.

Virginia Women Lead: Our non-partisan training program empowers women to run for office and work on campaigns. From volunteer commission roles, the judicial nominating process, and elected school board opportunities to state legislature campaigns and more, when women have a seat at the table, everyone wins.

Ask a Virginia Woman: Our outreach service and speaker database highlights media-trained Virginia women experts making it easier for news outlets, policy leaders, and businesses to ensure diverse voices are included in important community conversations. We provide media training to ensure new voices and experts from diverse fields and backgrounds are elevated and their ideas are amplified.
