Position Description

Vital Voices is an organization that invests in women leaders addressing the world’s greatest challenges – from gender-based violence, to the climate crisis and economic inequities, and beyond. Although they are often more civically and politically engaged than their elders, the ideas of young women are frequently discounted. Vital Voices engages young leaders in training and mentoring, and provides social-impact funding. The Program Coordinator will expand the Rising Voices portfolio of programs, dedicated to the leadership development of women leaders, ages 18-25. By helping to expand the reach of these programs, which are currently focused on Latin America, the Program Coordinator will advance the goal of transforming the portfolio into a global one by 2030.
