The Andi Leadership Institute for Young Women seeks to equip the next generation of young women+ peacebuilders with the necessary conflict resolution and leadership skills during their formative years, providing them with greater access to peace negotiations and leadership positions in the future.
The Institute launched its pilot program in August 2013 with 8 young women, from Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria and the United States, in Washington, D.C. Each year since then the Institute has held subsequent seminars and activities engaging young women leaders for peace in transformational experiential workshops and programs. ALI alumni have the option of continued engagement in Institute activities as members of the ALI Peace Fellows network of young woman leaders through continued dialogue, support and resources.

“Women’s leadership is essential to making peace processes sustainable, but women are mostly missing from high-level peace negotiations around the world,” said Advisory Council Member and MSNBC host Rachel Maddow. “The institute seeks to fix this by giving young women the skills they need to become peacebuilders at a young age. When something like this works, it not only opens the way for more success in those women’s future lives, it also clears the ground behind them for more women to enter that field.”
