Organization Description  Vital Voices Global Partnership is a leading international non-profit organization. We invest in women leaders who are tackling the world’s greatest challenges – from gender-based violence to the climate crisis, economic inequities, and more. We are “venture catalysts,” identifying leaders with a daring vision for change and partnering with them to make that vision a reality. The Vital Voices Crisis Team provides rapid, practical support to women leaders facing urgent threats to their safety, freedom, and ability to lead. These services include emergency relocation, legal and security assistant, mental health and livelihood support. The Vital Voices Crisis team also supports the Mothers' Call, a movement led by the Palestinian organization Women of the Sun and the Israeli Women Wage Peace. In March 2026, Israeli and Palestinian women walked barefoot through the streets of Rome and were received by Pope Leo XIV, drawing more than 100 pieces of coverage from Reuters, AP, Al Jazeera, and The Guardian. Over the next two years, the movement aims to grow a regional network of civil society organizations, hold a second Barefoot Walk in a major international city, and scale its policy and advocacy platform.   Mission Vital Voices invests in women leaders taking on the world’s greatest challenges and accelerates collective action towards an equitable and sustainable world.  Summary The Program Assistant reports to the Crisis Team Program Director.
