About Opportunity

Global nonprofit Rise Up will select a group of local civil society leaders from Jharkhand, India to participate in our Leadership Accelerator training program to advance gender equity and justice in 2024.

Through Rise Up’s program, these local leaders will advance transformational change in their organizations and communities, and champion improved national and local laws, programs, and funding for women, girls, and gender-nonconforming people.

With support from Cummins Inc., Rise Up will select, train, and invest in 25 local civil society leaders to strengthen education, health, and economic opportunity for girls and women in Jharkhand.

Rise Up’s new program in Jharkhand builds on the success of our work in Maharashtra, Delhi, and Rajasthan, where we have partnered with more than 108 local leaders who have successfully advocated for improved policies and laws impacting the lives of 3.3 million people.

The newly selected leaders in Jharkhand will become part of Rise Up’s global network of leaders in Africa, Latin America, South Asia, and the United States who are creating a future where all people can thrive. Rise Up builds power with women, girls, and their allies by providing training, funding, and connection to a global network to help them achieve meaningful, lasting change. Since 2009, Rise Up’s powerful network of 800 leaders has successfully advocated for over 185 new and improved laws and policies, positively impacting more than 160 million people around the world.
