Applications are being accepted for the Eileen Fisher Leadership program for girls going into 9th grade.The program will run for five days (July 29 through August 2) and will focus on introducing
girls to the core practices of the Eileen Fisher Leadership Institute including creativity,
confidence, connection, and community. Throughout the five days, participants will engage
in hands-on workshops, meet local young women leaders (including some EFLI alumni)
and be introduced to the EILEEN FISHER leadership practices.
“We’ve found that the summer between eighth and ninth grade is a critical transitioning
moment. EFLI provides support for young women to grow into the next phase of their lives
so this is a logical next step for us,” says Program Director, Antoinette Klatzky. “The thing I
am perhaps most excited about is the involvement of EFLI alum as leaders within INTRO
to EFLI. It gives these young women a chance to re-engage with the program and become
peer leaders in the Westchester community.”
Since the 2010 pilot of EFLI’s core program, Activating Leadership, EFLI has been steadily
growing and now offers four programs running concurrently throughout the summer. In
addition to INTRO to EFLI and Activating Leadership, EFLI continues to offer Leading for
Impact, a five week intensive in which returning participants work to turn their ideas into
action and the LiFe Fellowship, bringing together a select group of recent high school
graduates to practice peer leadership. Through each of these programs, the Eileen Fisher
Leadership Institute continues to promote leadership in young women through selfempowerment,
connection with others and activism in the community.
