VV Visionaries Program 2026: Fully Virtual Global Leadership Program for Women Social Impact Leaders

The VV Visionaries Program 2026 is a fully virtual, global leadership programme for women who are driving social impact — delivered by Vital Voices in partnership with the Estée Lauder Emerging Leaders Fund.

What it is

A virtual leadership development experience for emerging women leaders across sectors — social enterprise, health, education and community organising — who want to grow their impact. The programme combines structured training, mentorship and peer networks.

Key details

• Format: fully virtual — open to women anywhere, including Uganda
• Partners: Vital Voices Global Partnership × Estée Lauder Emerging Leaders Fund
• Deadline: rolling (apply early)

Who can apply

Women social-impact leaders at the early stages of their journey who are already creating change in their communities and want the skills, network and confidence to scale it.

Why it matters for Ugandans

Ugandan women leaders rarely get structured, globally recognised leadership training without leaving home. Because it is virtual, the programme is genuinely accessible to women across Uganda — no visa, no travel cost, just commitment.

How to apply

Complete the online application through Vital Voices, sharing your leadership journey and the impact you want to create.
