The Hmong Women's Leadership Institute provides emerging Hmong women leaders with the opportunity to develop their leadership in a supportive, nurturing environment. Fifteen (15) women will be selected to participate in culturally appropriate leadership development training from June through December 2008. Participants learn how to use and practice their leadership in a way that creates lasting change on a personal, family, organizational, and global level. They receive monthly group mentoring and/or coaching and organize a community project that helps the Hmong community to build sustainable, systemic wide changes around social change, particularly gender issues.

In 2007, HWAT graduated the first 12 Hmong women from its leadership institute. In 2008, HWAT expand its programming and graduated 10 Hmong women leaders.

Lastly, we hope to continue to expand the Leadership Institute in the many years to come. We would like to thank our generous supporters and donors for their commitment to Hmong women.
