Women and Gender In Civic Leadership

empowering for community change


ChangeMak[h]er Conference

The Changemake[h]er Conference is an annual conference put on by the Women and Gender In Civic Leadership program. The Changemak(h)er conference was created with young women and gender non-conforming folks in mind, to build knowledge about what a career in politics can look like, and to build confidence so that they can be change makers. Women and gender non-conforming folks continue to be underrepresented in all levels of elected office and while predominantly employees and volunteers in non-profits and community organizations these numbers do not translate into senior positions, women of colour, indigenous women, and members of the LGBTQ+ community are especially scarce. The goal is to support the women who hold these positions and inspire the next generation of female and gender-nonconforming leaders to shoot for the top.
