Inclusive Global Leadership Initiative's Summer Institute
The Inclusive Global Leadership Initiative's annual Summer Institute brings women-identified activists working on the frontlines to promote peace, justice, and human rights around the world to Colorado to receive advanced training in waging successful nonviolent movements for social change. The Institute is designed to strengthen their role as leaders in movements by offering women activists evidence-based training, networking opportunities, and a space to exchange stories about their particular struggles and successes. The IGLI Summer Institute receives support from the Carnegie Corporation of New York, the Arca Foundation, the Compton Foundation, the Jewish Women's Fund of Colorado, the Social Sciences Foundation of the University of Denver, and local philanthropists.
The Institute is one component of the larger Inclusive Global Leadership Initiative (IGLI) that initiates research, education, and programming aimed at elevating and amplifying the work that women and marginalized communities do to lead movements for social change around the world.
IGLI is directed by Professor Marie Berry, and was co-founded with Erica Chenoweth (Harvard Kennedy School).
