In spring 2024, IGNITE launched the IGNITE the Vote campaign to educate Gen Z women on how elections happen, why they matter,  what is on their ballot, and how to vote. Through this work we could get them into the habit of voting and grow their community knowledge.

IGNITE is thrilled to announce Yasmeen Metellus as the newest member of our Board of Directors. Not only is Yasmeen an IGNITE alumni having served as a Dr. Anne Moses Fellow, she brings to our Board a wealth of experience in law, civic education, and women’s rights.

IGNITE, America's largest, most diverse nonprofit organization devoted to young women's political empowerment, is proud to announce the addition of Anna Del Castillo and Heather McLeod Grant to its Board of Directors. 

(Sacramento, CA, April 22—For Immediate Release)—Over 150 Gen Z women from across the state of California will gather at the state Capitol today to lobby their elected representatives on Assembly Bill 810—to Protect Students from Sexual Violence and Harassment in California institutions of higher education.

Investment in the next generation of leaders is key to creating lasting change. We are grateful that the Crimsonbridge Foundation has generously continued their investment in IGNITE for the 2023-24 program year. The Crimsonbridge Foundation works towards solutions that help youth across America thrive, focusing on education, leadership, environment sustainability, and capacity-building to support their vision of social change. The Crimsonbridge Foundation funds IGNITE through the Women and Girls’ Leadership and Civic Engagement strand, which helps us support IGNITE’s political leadership and civic engagement of young women.
