Women's Empowerment Expo
Join us to celebrate, inspire and empower women as they embrace their strength, amplify their voices and drive positive change in their lives and communities.
The Women's Empowerment Expo creates opportunities for organizations supporting women and girls to engage with Harvard University's community for internships, volunteering, mentoring, career exploration, and charitable giving.
20+ Participating organizations in every Women’s Empowerment Expo

Women on the Frontlines
Transforming the World
This Expo features organizations from around the world that address the challenges faced by women. We showcase and amplify the voices of people healing divisions, fostering trust, and forging collective paths forward.
Empowering Women on the Frontlines
Connect. Recruit. Inspire.

This year, the Annual Women’s Empowerment Expo on April 18th (in-person at Harvard University) and April 25th (virtual via Zoom) is our opportunity to use that network deliberately by bringing women-led organizations directly into a room where they can build the relationships that change their trajectory.
The theme of the 2026 Expo is “Women on the Frontlines Transforming the World.” With 50+ organizations signed up to participate, this is our biggest Expo yet!
