Serena Initiative:

DEVELOPING A PROGRAM FROM GRASSROOT PEACEBUILDERS

Sophie Green, founder of The Center for Transnational Justice (CTJ) in Washington D.C., reflected on the future of her nonprofit amidst the challenges and changes brought by the COVID-19 pandemic. Since 1997, CTJ had focused on creating safe communities through grassroots programs, and in 2017, it launched the Serena Initiative (SI) to support women leaders globally. With the pandemic forcing a shift to remote work and halting the SI fellowship program, Green contemplated the adjustments needed to continue achieving CTJ's goals of supporting community resilience and women's leadership, in a world transformed by the pandemic.

How might a nonprofit focused on empowering women leadership adapt its operations and core programming, amidst the uncertainty of a post-pandemic world?
