Dive in to reflect on and celebrate 15 years of training and mobilizing young women and gender-expansive leaders to claim their voices, influence policy, and reshape what leadership looks like in America.
This milestone is about more than numbers! It’s about the community we’ve built - one where young people connect across lived experiences, ideologies, and identities to find common ground and lead with empathy. Together, we are bringing those with diverse lived experiences closer to power.
Explore the stories, milestones, and momentum that have defined IGNITE’s first 15 years - and the vision shaping our next 15.
We are just one year away from the 2026 midterm elections, and IGNITE is focused on amplifying young women’s power even more boldly.
Over the next year, we’ll uplift stories of leadership and impact across our social channels and at events nationwide. If you have a story about how IGNITE has shaped your journey or community, we’d love to hear it. Share your story with us at [email protected] to inspire others to step into their political power.
Thank you for believing in this work, for fueling connection and courage, and for making smart investments in who leads next.
Onward,
Sara Guillermo, IGNITE CEO
