The programme enables you to expose your girls to diverse fields and various career paths, and equips them with the tools they need to succeed in the future in their chosen fields of endeavour. Our carefully designed methodology and comprehensive programming empowers your girls with much needed skills of confidence, agency, and resourcefulness. Please feel free to write to us at fellowship@wondergirls.co for any further questions.

The Wonder Girls Student Leaders Fellowship is the first of its kind all-girls Fellowship programme for adolescent girls in India. We create a safe space and provide girls with tools and skills to excel professionally. Our wide-ranging modules cover topics such as reframing failure, networking, collaboration, accessing mentorship, financial independence, battling biases, personal brand, etc. among other well thought-out modules. We enable Fellows to develop game-changing skills through our thoughtfully designed capstone project. We create an environment for them to learn and network with one another as well as with high-impact role models. We conclude the programme with an internship in collaboration with our partner organisations to give Fellows a taste of what it is like to be in the workforce, and motivate them for the future.

Adolescence is a highly impressionable age. Access to the right information, key projects, peers, and role models will be life-altering for the Fellows before they step into university. It will help them connect with other high-potential girls from around the country and develop a strong sense of self and community. We are open to receiving applications from students in gap years as well.

Global research shows that all-girl environments enable girls to learn effectively without being influenced by otherwise widely prevalent stereotypes. Today, there is a huge need in India for programmes that tie in adolescent leadership experiences with long-term success for girls.

Being digital enables us to bring the brightest Fellows, best role models, and expert project facilitators from all across the globe together in one place and amplify opportunities for all. The diversity of the peer group coming together from different parts of India keeps this incredibly exciting for our Fellows.

Yes. Our Fellowship programme is designed in a way that Fellows can participate alongside regular academic commitments. The programme is scheduled only on weekends, and can be taken from the comfort of one’s home. All it will require is effective pre-planning for the duration of the programme to make the most of the Fellowship experience.

The 10-week timeframe allows us to space out our modules to foster maximum learning. The consistency of our programme, our weekly pre-reading material, and reflection activities enable for lessons to be imbibed concretely. The duration also allows for our Fellows to collaborate effectively with their peers and build meaningful relationships across the board.

Our capstone project equips the Fellows with foundational skills of resourcefulness, agency, problem-solving, networking, and collaborative work. This transformational experience shapes and provides them with an action-oriented outlook that can always be tapped into.

According to a comprehensive study conducted by LinkedIn, ‘women world-over typically tend to be 14-38% less likely than their male peers to have a strong network’. Research suggests that 85% of job positions are mapped through networking. The ethos of networking and collaborative teamwork has to be incorporated into girls from an early age. In a structured way, we curate peer networking sessions to break this stereotype and create a community of girls who will help one another professionally from the very beginning.

Yes, the Fellows will meet diverse and successful role models every weekend as part of one of our programme cornerstones. Fellows will learn directly from them, draw insights from their journeys, engage in meaningful dialogues and ask them pertinent questions. You cannot be what you can’t see, and sometimes, access to role models is all one needs to steer one’s life to create a 10X impact. Since none of our sessions are published for public access, the interactions with role models tend to be fun, real, and meaningful. 

We have a diverse list of credible organisations onboard as partners. Based on interest and skills, and partner organisations’ requirements, we will map each Fellow with one of our partner organisations for a 1-month part-time digital internship. Fellows can add work experience to their resume, and more importantly get an opportunity to immerse themselves in real world working environments.

If you are a young ambitious girl who wants to understand what goes into building a meaningful and successful long-term career, then this is the right place for you. From interacting with high-quality professionals who have been there and done that, to building leadership skills and foundational skills via capstone projects alongside bright peers from all across India, to participating in real-world projects and internships in collaboration with our partner organisations, you will learn skills that will set you apart and give you a true headstart for success.
