Next Generation

Next Generation

What is our Next Generation program?

This program offers an opportunity for young women students and professionals between the ages of 21-35 to attend WCF events through donor sponsorship.

Who participates?

Young women leaders who want to get involved with WCF through our events and who would not be able to attend without ticket sponsorship. It's a great opportunity for those who are seeking opportunities to increase their political involvement - either as a future candidate themselves or an aspiring, influential donor to other women candidates. 

Why become a Next Generation member?

For $25 and one nomination for the She Should Run™ program, you’ll get free admission on a first-come first-served basis, to WCF events, an invitation to a young professional DC-based Happy Hour, the biannual Next Generation newsletter, and continued access to WCF membership communications.
