Applications for the Women Deliver Young Leaders Program are officially open. This program is aimed at training, elevating and empowering youth advocates to catalyze action for gender equality and the health, rights, and well-being of girls and women — with particular emphasis on sexual and reproductive health and rights and meaningful youth engagement. The program started in 2010 and is comprised of 400 youth advocates from more than 100 countries, with 300 more scheduled to join in early 2018.
The 2018 Class of Women Deliver Young Leaders participate in a two-year program, beginning in January 2018 and ending in December 2019, after which engagement through the network of Women Deliver Young Leaders alumni network is possible.

All young people, regardless of gender, race, ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, or national origin are encouraged and welcome to apply.
