Applications for Women inPower 2025 are Now Open!

Thank you for your interest in applying to the Women inPower 2025 Fellowship!

Women inPower is a dynamic cross-sector fellowship program designed to help high-potential women+ advance to the next stage of their career. This one-of-a-kind program will provide approximately 25-30 women+ leaders in New York City with executive mentorship, educational training and workshops, and membership in an active community of women+ leaders.

Special announcement: In celebration of the 10th Anniversary of Women inPower, we are excited to launch a new cohort designed to support neurodivergent women+ leaders, recognizing and valuing the unique perspectives, strengths, and talents they bring to their professional roles. For us, a neurodivergent leader is anyone who self-identifies as neurodivergent. Many define neurodivergence as someone who learns and thinks differently, including those with autism spectrum condition, ADHD, dyslexia, and other conditions.

Participants will engage in the core Women inPower offerings—professional development workshops, 1:1 mentorship, and a supportive peer network—tailored to the specific challenges and opportunities faced by neurodivergent leaders, led by experts in the field. The fellowship also prioritizes accessibility, ensuring that all programming is inclusive and designed to accommodate a wide range of needs. Your response is optional and information about neurodivergence will remain confidential and will not affect your evaluation for the general cohort. It will only be shared with the selection team as necessary.

On this page you’ll find more information on application requirements, candidate criteria, selection timelines, and the link to apply. We look forward to receiving your application!
