Andi Leadership Institute for Young Women Program Application 2022

The 3 Pillars of the ALI Program

The Andi Leadership Institute for Young Women is excited to announce that it will hold an in-person program in Washington, D.C. in August 2022.

The theme for ALI’s 2022 program is Speaking Your Truth: A Path to Healing & Reconciliation. As global conflicts, and racial or political divisions continue to plague our communities, now is the time to learn ways to speak your truth and find a path towards healing and reconciliation.

This opportunity will include both online and in-person elements. We will follow all appropriate COVID-19-related best practices, including a thorough pre-program health protocol.

The Institute is seeking eight motivated young female-identified individuals from all nationalities and backgrounds. We encourage young female-identified people, ages 18-27, who have an interest in peacebuilding, conflict transformation and leadership to apply.

The 2022 ALI program will take place from August 7 through August 20 in Washington, D.C. Travel to the US will be provided for accepted applicants. For more information on program specifics, contact info@andileadership.org.

All applications are due by May 15, 2022.
