2024 U.S.-ASEAN WOMEN’S LEADERSHIP ACADEMY FOR YSEALI

We are excited to offer the 10th U.S.-ASEAN Women’s Leadership Academy for YSEALI Regional Workshop for youth from Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Timor-Leste and Vietnam. This fully-funded workshop will bring together women leaders between the ages of 20 to 35 who are working on food security issues.

The Academy is an avenue for young women leaders to advance their leadership skills and understand the importance of human capital development and civic engagement to support their work in preventing food insecurity and managing the impact of short-term and long-term food shortages.

Specifically, the Academy aims to:

• become an avenue for participants to advance their leadership skills
• increase the participants’ understanding of key gender differences and challenges specific to food security issues in the region
• expand their network of young Southeast Asian women leaders who work across national borders and drive collective action
• provide access to seed funding and mentorship
• nurture a strong ASEAN identity and community

The program will include also leadership training and expert-led sessions that unpack food security issues and relevant fields. As a participant, you also have the opportunity to collaborate on a knowledge product with fellow women leaders from the region and the United States to foster cross-cultural exchange and increase areas and scope of impact in the domain of food security.

The online application form is open until November 26, 2023 only.

The program will start with online activities and sessions in January 2024, followed by an in-person workshop in April 2024 and optional advocacy and collaborative activities until August 2024.
