The World Academy for the Future of Women is a bold and daring leadership program focused on developing young women for leadership roles that will address and achieve the United Nations’ Millennium Development Goals (UN-MDGs) and UN Sustainable Development Goals. Beginning on the campus of SIAS International University in 2009, WAFW grew from a one-year program for 100 women to a multi-level three-year program for women, and a Men’s Academy for the Future of Women, a program requested by men students, which replicates the women’s program and prepares men to support the advancement of women. Their purpose is to advance and accelerate the leadership of women worldwide, and their mission is to empower women through the discovery of their passion, purpose and path to success, calling forth the full expression of human possibilities through collaborative and inclusive partnerships.
