Leadership for Social Impact

About The WILD Network

The WILD Network is a hub for leadership, career development, and community building for those tackling the world’s most complex problems.

Women leaders in social impact face distinct challenges at every career stage: breaking through to senior roles, navigating complex organizational transformation, scaling impact while managing limited resources, and building the next generation of leaders.

The WILD Network addresses these challenges through a dual approach: empowering individual leaders with skills and global connections while partnering with organizations to build inclusive cultures where women thrive.

With 25,000 members across 100+ countries, we connect leaders at every level, from emerging professionals to C-suite executives and board members.

Our offerings include learning resources, our award-winning leadership coaching program and our annual Leadership for Social Impact Forums taking place this year online May 12 - 13, 2026 and in-person in Washington DC on May 6, 2026. Annually, we convene 1,500+ leaders from 100+ countries.

All designed specifically for the development, humanitarian aid, and social change sectors.

Whether you're seeking peer community with fellow leaders, practical tools for organizational transformation, or opportunities to mentor or be mentored while advancing your own leadership, WILD provides the network and resources to support your journey.

Through the WILD Institute, you can bring WILD’s customizable leadership courses in-house to develop leaders at every level and build a culture of impactful leadership in your organization.
