The primary goal of the Women on Boards program is to provide a platform that enables the transfer of learnings, thoughts and ideas, between the corporate and social impact sectors, while enabling higher diversity on nonprofit boards—diversity both in terms of women's participation and diversity of experience and expertise.
The program will aim to ensure active learning across sessions, via:
The program is structured to include classroom engagement, one day of on-field immersions with organisations, self-reflective and a deep dive into case studies, and mandatory pre-reads before the modules. Hence you would be required to dedicate 60 hours to classroom learning, 20 hours of immersive volunteering between the modules, and 20 hours to be set aside for self-reflection.
As a participant, you will receive insights into the Indian social sector. In addition, you will find opportunities to serve on Advisory Boards of social impact organisations. The experience during and after this program will help build your institutional governance experience overall.
No. Attendance for every engagement is mandatory in order to complete the program and receive certification.

Currently, we aren’t providing any financial assistance.
It would depend on the organisation’s needs and the expectations set in the beginning. However, it would be a considerable amount of time for the organisation to benefit from your expertise.
