Women of Global Change: Our Story of Impact

Who We Are

Welcome to Women of Global Change (WGC) — a national and international network of visionary servant leaders. We believe those who serve succeed, and we unite to build what none of us could accomplish alone.

Our Vision
Women of Global Change believes that every human being should have the right to access clean water, food, health care, education, and income training — beyond race, creed, religion, or circumstance. WGC engages all individuals to have the opportunity to propel in global engagement, business, and social impact.

Our Mission
WGC is a network of business leaders and entrepreneurs working in global business, camaraderie, and service. We collaborate in educational platforms and humanitarian projects for ourselves, our communities, and the world — to create the change we wish to see.
