The inaugural class of SOAR Fellows give us hope. By backing bold, diverse leaders and championing new ways to drive force for change, we can strive for justice and see meaningful progress in our lifetime. These SOAR fellows are at the forefront of some of the most pressing issues facing women and girls in the U.S. and around the world today. True leadership is grounded in purpose and a deep personal connection to the issues we are fighting for.

Join us for a powerful and poignant evening performance where SOAR fellows will share their deepest stories that have made them who they are today. We are honored to have Rene Redwood, a longtime champion for women’s rights and justice, host this evening celebration of our Fellows’ unique journeys.
