Fora: Network for Change

Purpose

Through this 19-month systemic change project, Fora: Network for Change will scale the reach and impact of the Rise on Boards project, to advance the representation of young women in pivotal leadership and decision-making roles. The scale out of Rise on Boards will introduce this project to French-speaking official language minority communities and extend to new locations across Canada. To do so, the project will undertake in-depth original research, influential thought leadership, forge strategic partnerships with provincial and federal non-profit networks and organize board equality events and workshops. The board equality resources will be adopted into existing non-profit hubs, ensuring a sustained impact on leadership diversity, increasing young women’s representation as leaders and decision-makers, and the realization of youth gender equality across Canada.
