About the Japanese Women's Leadership Initiative

Since 2007, four Japanese women have been invited to Boston each year as Japanese Women's Leadership Initiative Fellows to learn about the American nonprofit sector and to develop their leadership potential. The program includes hands-on training with successful Boston based nonprofit organizations and tutorials in the areas of nonprofit management as well as the “Strategic Leadership for Women” training program at the Simmons School of Management (SOM). Each Fellow develops an action plan for implementation upon return to Japan that addresses the goals of her vision and dreams.

Additionally, The United States-Japan Foundation, based in New York City, approved funding for a three year grant to CGO to create the Japanese Women’s Leadership Initiative Forum Program in Japan. The new program is based upon the success of the US based Japanese Women’s Leadership Program, now entering its fifth year at the SOM, coupled with the growing interest in nonprofit organizations because of the keen needs of society in Japan, the growth in recognition of the Japanese government of the value or nonprofits organizations and the interest of more women in Japan to take on leadership roles. The program is designed to provide a three-year series of seminars and workshops in Japan as part of the movement to create social change by strengthening the capacity of women to provide leadership and work effectively for change while educating a broader audience about the value of the nonprofit sector and its potential role in addressing social issues.
