IF SHE CAN MAKE IT HERE: Women’s Leadership SERIES

Amplify Her® Foundation’s mission is to support women and girls from underserved communities to become transformative changemakers. Toward that end, Amplify Her® Foundation develops strategic partnerships with supportive organizations and gender justice allies to curate professional networking and development opportunities for grantee partner organizations and the women and girls that they serve. 

In 2023, Amplify Her® Foundation embarked on an ambitious research project in partnership to discover the unique barriers and challenges that women face on their leadership journeys. As part of the project, Amplify Her® Foundation conducted a citywide survey of 1,000 women to better understand the types of supports that would - or could - have the greatest impact. 65% of respondents indicated mentorship and leadership development programs as being the most useful to their development. In response to this insight, Amplify Her® Foundation decided to launch a Women’s Leadership Series which offers an IRL platform for leadership development and career exploration, connection, and growth.

Hosted in partnership with the Bella Abzug Leadership Institute, Seeds of Fortune, South Asian Youth Action, and the Student Leadership Network, Amplify Her® Foundation is hosting a free college exploration visit at USMA West Point for its youth-serving grantee partner organizations. The program includes a campus tour, classroom visits, lunch with students and a women’s leadership seminar.

This is a special event for girls in grades 9-11, to explore the unique academic and professional opportunities afforded by a service academy. The United States Military Academy at West Point has a rich history of producing exceptional leaders, fostering academic excellence, leadership development, and character building. By participating in this college exploration visit, students will be able to experience the institution's state-of-the-art facilities, engage with distinguished faculty members as well as current students, and gain insight into the rigorous academic programs and leadership training available at West Point. Beyond academics, the tour also provides a chance to explore the stunning campus situated along the Hudson River, just 60 miles from New York City.
