The American Democracy Institute’s Pathways to Power Program assists exceptional young women leaders in finding, creating, and pursuing their own pathways to high-impact leadership positions.

Women are now the majority of the American workforce. Yet they are still missing from leadership positions in all institutions, be they financial, political, or social.

 

Percent of Women in the
American Workforce: 50%

Percent of Women in
Leadership Positions: 18%

 

The particular strengths that women generally bring to the table are especially critical as we face the challenges of the 21st Century. 

The status quo is unacceptable. Young women leaders need a new pathway to power in this country, and you can help build it for them.
