Women's Global Leadership Initiative is a San Francisco-based nonprofit that supports women from diverse socio-economic and ethnic backgrounds who want to influence their communities. The organization provides leadership education and connects participants with mentors who help create a step-by-step plan for personal and professional growth, fostering confidence and practical insight for leadership roles. Its approach emphasizes personal and professional development through mentorship and peer support, with the aim of creating a network of women leaders worldwide. Founded in 2008 by Diana Ruiz, WGLI seeks to enable women to lead and to learn from one another as they advance their leadership journeys. In the nonprofit sector, WGLI positions itself as a community-centered program that pairs education with mentorship rather than a traditional service provider. The organization operates with a small-to-mid-sized staff and focuses its efforts in the San Francisco area. In 2019, it partnered with World Affairs to host a forum in collaboration with IGNITE and the Global Fund for Women, reflecting its engagement in cross-organizational collaborations to advance women’s leadership.
