ANNpower Vital Voices Initiative

We challenge YOU to make your own first ripple.

 

A GROUNDBREAKING initiative in partnership with ANN INC., parent company of Ann Taylor and LOFT, to empower young women from across the U.S. to affect global progress, invest in their communities and be inspired by the work of women in the Vital Voices Global Leadership Network. 

At the 10^th Annual Global Leadership Awards, we challenged 500 young women in the audience to take the inspiration and the energy from that evening from the stories they heard and the women they met, and in their own way, within their local communities — pay it forward. Since then, young women from across the U.S. submitted their project proposals for how they want to see change in their communities and around the world.

Congratulations to all of the young women who sent in stellar proposals and inspired ideas. YOU have taken the first step in your journey as a leader and a global trailblazer. As you engage in your community projects — no matter how big or small — you play an important role in reshaping the world for positive and sustainable change. 

Vital Voices is proud to announce the 2011 ANNpower grantees. Join us as we follow these inspiring young women on their journey as community leaders and the next generation of global trailblazers.
