Deadline: 16-Jun-23
She’s the First is looking for community-based youth founders who are working to secure rights and transform outcomes for girls for their Girl-Centered Incubator.
Through this program, She’s the First develops emerging organizational leaders over the course of three years by providing fiscal sponsorship and training on topics such as human-centered design, strategic program design, financial management, and monitoring, evaluation & learning. GCI organizations will be able to raise funds through She’s the First and will receive mentorship and guidance from within the organization.
Please note that this is not a grant opportunity, but rather a training incubator.
Training is co-designed with the fellows to address their most pressing needs, and it is aimed at building the leadership capacity of fellows as well as strengthening their organization and the ecosystem they operate in. At the end of each workshop, the fellows are given a project to work on that will help them incorporate and implement learnings in their organizations.
