Woodhull Institute's Young Women's Leadership Retreats
The Michelle R. Clayman Institute for Gender Research is partnering with the Woodhull Institute for Ethical Leadership and Stanford's Women Community Center to offer full scholarships to three Stanford University female students to participate in an Ethical Leadership workshop. Female staff at the University are also eligible to attend and may apply STAP funds toward their registration fee with their supervisor's knowledge and approval.
Founded in 1998 by author Naomi Wolf and journalist Margot Magowan, The Woodhull Institute for Ethical Leadership provides training, mentoring, and support for young women, and works to develop their potential as ethical leaders. At each retreat, a team of committed professionals presents basic empowerment skills that prepare young women for leadership roles in their community and workplace. The three-day Young Women's Retreat includes Woodhull's core program modules: Ethics and Leadership Development, Public Speaking, Negotiation, Financial Literacy, Advocacy and Identity/Voice workshops. Meditation, hiking, journaling and group discussions are encouraged. Graduates of Woodhull Institute ethical leadership trainings become alumnae of the 1,300+ growing network of women across the U.S. and internationally.
San Francisco retreat dates in 2008 are March 14-16 and September 19-21. The location of the retreat will be at the The Institute for Noetic Sciences in Petaluma. We are offering two scholarships for the March retreat, and one scholarship for the September retreat.
