Description

Global Grassroots’ mission is to catalyze women and girls as leaders of Conscious Social Change in their communities. Conscious Social Change blends mindfulness-based leadership training, social entrepreneurship skills, and a unique participatory and collaborative approach, which we utilize to advance women-led, community-driven development. At Global Grassroots, we see women as innately powerful and believe that, with courage, training, resources, and opportunity, she can lead change, advance her own social solutions, and transform whole communities.
