Do you know a young woman between the ages of 11 and 20 who has taken a leadership role to advance the rights of women and girls?
Maybe she has advocated for menstrual hygiene products in school or helped elect a fierce woman candidate to office. She may be president of a gender equity club at school or lead a faith-based youth group. Perhaps she has volunteered with a local shelter or advocacy group.
If you know a wonderful young woman leader, please forward our application to her! Applicants must submit a personal statement and answer a short essay question. In addition, they are asked to submit a letter of recommendation. Applications are due by noon on Wednesday, February 12, 2025.
Four awardees will be selected as 2025 Maryland Young Women Leaders. They will receive a citation at our Awards Ceremony in March from Governor Wes Moore; and an award of $2,000 to advance their work or education. The award is sponsored by the Foundation for the Maryland Commission for Women. For more information and to apply, go to this application page.
