Your IGNITE Journey doesn't end at graduation. Join IGNITE's Alumni Network.

IGNITE’s Alumni Network keeps you connected to the community, mentors, and skill-building that will carry you into your career and public leadership.

About the alumni network

Your Lived Experience is Your Qualification

As an IGNITE alumna, you've already learned that your lived experiences aren't barriers to leadership. They're qualifications for it.

The Alumni Network is where you continue to put that into practice. No matter where you are, this community helps you keep growing your political power and pay it forward with current IGNITE participants. 

Who It's For

IGNITE alumni are cis and trans women, as well as nonbinary people, who are comfortable in spaces that center the experiences of young women and have taken part in an IGNITE program in high school, college, or beyond. You might be a student, an employee in the workplace, a community volunteer, or a young mom. You belong here.

What to Expect

Alumni don't just stay connected. You keep the movement growing by:

  • Building influence through speaking at trainings, conferences, and events.

  • Helping young women navigate systems: Mentor a young woman leader and show how decisions really get made.

  • Skill building: Take part in exclusive professional development opportunities to continue your own leadership growth.

Most importantly, by joining IGNITE's Alumni Network, you will continue to stay connected to the community.
