WILD

Women in Leadership Development



CUPE is welcoming Indigenous, Black, and racialized women and non-binary members to apply for WILD, the first-ever national Women in Leadership Development training.

This union education program is designed specifically to support Indigenous, Black, and racialized women and non-binary members in strengthening their leadership within our union and communities.

WILD focuses on building skills in feminist leadership, strategic thinking, confident communication, relationship-building, and taking bold, meaningful action. Grounded in lived experience and collective learning, the program encourages participants to step into leadership in ways that are authentic and sustainable.

CUPE members in good standing can apply if they:

Have lived experience as an Indigenous, Black, or racialized woman or non-binary person
Are new to activism or have leadership experience
Want to make a difference in their union and community

This is a unique opportunity. We encourage members to apply. Together, we will build capacity and support the creative and courageous leaders our movement needs.

Trainings will be held regionally. For more information and to apply, members can visit: https://cupe.ca/ready-for-wild
