Details:
The Accelerator Cohort will include leaders nominated by organizations from around the U.S. and U.S. Territories. You’ll participate in a four-month interactive, virtual curriculum that is collaborative, hands-on, and non-extractive.
Through a time-tested curriculum, you will build your capacity to up-level, improve on and scale your existing environmental and climate initiatives. The Accelerator will provide support, tools, and mentorship to develop actionable climate and environmental strategies for your region. You’ll also gain new skills, visibility, resources, and momentum for your critical work. Although there are regional and sector-specific small groups within the cohort, you will gain considerably by exchanging and linking strategies with your national counterparts. Throughout the program, you will also work to pivot or position your initiatives to respond directly to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The world is calling you to expand your leadership.
- Scale Your Impact: As part of a national cohort, you will strengthen and unify women’s climate initiatives, generating measurable and sustained impacts to their global environment, economies, and communities.
- Network With Other Leaders: By joining WEA’s U.S. Grassroots Accelerator, you will join a national and global network of grassroots, environmental leaders, gaining access to new funding, best practices, allies, and visibility.
- Share Resources: You will gain skills in professional development, leadership, entrepreneurship, advocacy, communications, and technical solutions from global facilitators, regional experts, and cohort peers.
Through the Accelerator, you’ll gain:
- Skills in professional development, leadership, economic justice, advocacy, communications, and environmental innovations facilitated by issue experts and cohort peers
- A comprehensive Action Plan to accelerate their climate/environmental initiative, including an impact framework & metrics, implementation strategy, timeline, and budget
