About this Course
Women Leading Change is an exciting, new 6-week certificate offered at Claremont Lincoln University that examines what it means to be a woman who leads change in the 21st century. This course explores how women are using their collective voice and influence to advocate for equity and justice today. If you are ready to use your personal power and exercise your influence to spark social change as an advocate for equity and justice, this certificate will help prepare you to do just that.
Why Women Leading Change? From the #MeToo and Times Up movements to achieving equity in the workplace to intersectionality and violence against women, the fight for gender equality is changing. There is a shift in the women’s movement that has created a new foundation for how we understand and make connections between different experiences. Women from different backgrounds, working in different sectors, of different ethnicities, with different stories — are speaking up, and people are listening and responding. The Women Leading Change certificate explores and underscores how women are writing a new playbook for power and equality.
Become a Champion for Change: The Women Leading Change Certificate provides you with a foundational overview of the issues facing women today. You will examine the various ways women are positioning themselves to become drivers of progress in the women’s movement. Each week, you will learn through engaging videos, informative articles, discussion forums, and essay writing. At the conclusion, you will apply this new learning and develop a Leadership Impact Plan that identifies how you will become a champion for change on an issue facing women today.
