The Vital Voices Global Fellowship (VVGF) 2025 unites women leaders from diverse fields to enhance their skills, foster collaboration, and exchange ideas. This 10-month program brings together fellows across two key pillars—VV Venture (social entrepreneurship) and VV Engage (public leadership)—while also encouraging cross-sector synergies to drive systemic change.
Through this fellowship, Vital Voices aims to amplify the impact of women addressing the world’s most pressing challenges, facilitate meaningful collaboration among changemakers, and equip participants with the tools to advance the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
