DisruptHERS is a movement.
DisruptHERS is a bold, unapologetic space for female non-profit leaders, social changemakers, and vision-driven women who are done doing leadership the way it’s always been done — at the expense of their health, their voice, or their values.
It’s for the women who are:
-
Disrupting outdated leadership norms
-
Reimagining how change is made
-
Choosing impact without burnout
-
Leading with equity, innovation, and heart
-
We exist to help women:
-
Lead boldly – not perfectly
-
Spark innovation – not just maintain programs
-
Center mental wellness – not ignore it
-
Build sustainable impact – not hustle to exhaustion
-
Thrive in community – not lead in isolation
Because leadership shouldn’t cost you your peace, your boundaries, or your identity.
DisruptHERS is the brave space for the women who are ready to do it differently — and do it together.

Eligibility Requirements
DisruptHERS is designed for women* who are leading (or ready to lead) mission-driven organizations, programs, or movements — and who are ready to do it differently.
You are eligible if you:
-
Identify as a woman in leadership (formal or informal role)
-
Work in or with non-profit, grassroots, advocacy, or social impact sector
-
Are a founder, executive director, team leader, or emerging leader in your field
-
Want to disrupt the status quo in how leadership is done — with equity, clarity, and courage
-
Are open to coaching, collaboration, and community

DisruptHERS is not for you if:

You’re not currently engaged in social impact, nonprofit, or service-based leadership
-
You’re looking for quick fixes without personal reflection or growth
-
You’re committed to keeping traditional, top-down leadership models in place
*Note on Inclusivity
We welcome and affirm trans women, non-binary leaders who align with this mission, and women from BIPOC, LGBTQ+, disabled, and historically marginalized communities.
You don’t have to be “perfect” or have it all figured out — you just need to be ready to lead with intention and integrity.
“Come as you are. Let’s lead how we’re meant to — boldly, together."
