9th Annual VV GROW Fellowship Program Launches with 100

Washington, D.C., March 13, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Vital Voices Global Partnership and its allies at FedEx, Visa, Target and Andalou Naturals are proud to announce the launch of the 2023 VV GROW Fellowship, a global business accelerator for women leading for-profit, purpose-driven businesses offering innovative solutions to the world’s greatest challenges by advancing the UN Sustainable Development Goals.  

Now in its ninth cohort, the VV GROW program has selected 100 pioneering women entrepreneurs from 42 countries this year to take part in the fellowship, which will take place in a virtual setting.  

“We know from countless research studies that women lead differently, and that when a woman’s business grows and when she is economically empowered, she pours that right back into her surroundings and her entire community reaps the benefits,” said Zoe Dean-Smith, Senior Vice President, Leadership and Social Impact, Vital Voices. “At Vital Voices, we invest holistically in the woman and that’s why I believe the VV GROW Fellowship program stands out as a leader in this space.” 

The fellowship is like a mini-MBA program, providing immense value to women leaders in far-reaching parts of the world. Training sessions are delivered by world-class trainers who use a learn-do-achieve methodology.   

The VV GROW Fellowship Program

The VV GROW Fellowship is a 10-month virtual program that fosters growth and skills advancement in strategic planning, financial management, marketing and sales, strategic networking, leadership, human resources, and communications to support you in creating a holistic, sustainable foundation for which your vision and impact can grow.  The program builds a network of support amongst fellows and connects them to the Vital Voices Global Network, creating an enabling environment to drive inclusive economic growth and social change. 

VV GROW alumni success stories can be found across the globe, from Nigeria to Iraq and the US in California and many more locations.
