WE Wavemakers

ENQUIRE ABOUT DIY EXPEDITIONS

A Leadership Accelerator for Young Women Leading Change

Free. 6 Weeks. Online. 2.5 hours weekly

Starts: November 2026

Young women across the world are already leading

in communities, classrooms, organisations, businesses, and movements. Yet many are doing so without access to leadership development, networks, or support their ambition deserves. WE Wavemakers was created in response to this.

WE Wavemakers is a free 6-week online leadership accelerator by Women Emerging for young women who are already creating change in their communities or networks.

It was inspired by the insights, reflections and practical tools of Global Changemakers — groups of young changemakers aged 20–25 from across the world who came together to explore their own approach to leading and to share their experiences of leading in different contexts.

Designed by young women,

WE Wavemakers is built on the Women Emerging 4Es methodology — discovered on the first Women Emerging expedition and strengthened through expeditions ever since.

Through WE Wavemakers, young women are invited to discover their own approach to leading, connect with a global community of peers, and grow confidence in how they show up in their own contexts.

Why WE Wavemakers?

WE Wavemakers exists for young women who are already leading change, and who may sometimes feel:

Alone in their leading journey
Pulled between purpose and exhaustion
Pressure to constantly overextend themselves

The experience of imposter syndrome
Limited access to leadership development and meaningful networks

This is just the beginning

WE Wavemakers is more than a 6-week leadership accelerator.

Every Wavemaker becomes part of the wider Women Emerging (WE) Community.

After completing WE Wavemakers, participants receive a WE Wavemakers Certificate and continue their exploring through:

WE Hub — a dynamic and ever-evolving free digital library of practical leadership intelligence generated by women.
WE Match — ongoing one-to-one peer connections across the global community
A lifelong community of women exploring and shaping how they lead
