YWA LEADERSHIP TRAINING

Join us September 17-19, 2026, in Washington, D.C., for Young Women for America Leadership Training (YWALT)!

This year is extra special–we’re embracing all things Americana as we proudly celebrate 250 years of our great nation. It’s our biggest event yet, and you won’t want to miss it!

YWALT is a premier opportunity for Christian young women from across the country to gather in our nation’s capital for training, worship, and fellowship.

Addressing today’s most pressing issues, attendees refine their convictions, receive training on Biblical policy, deepen their faith, and establish lasting friendships with sisters in Christ who are engaged in the fight for what is good, beautiful, and true.

Attendees leave feeling rejuvenated and prepared to lead the charge in shaping culture and policy in their states and communities. We’d love to have you be a part of this impactful event!

This year’s theme, One Nation Under God, is based on Psalm 33:12.

“Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people whom He has chosen as His heritage!”

As we reflect on the faith that built our nation and the conviction that spurs us on to engage the most pressing issues of our day, we reaffirm God’s sovereignty. As the next generation of leaders, we pause to celebrate our nation and to rededicate ourselves to making the United States a place that honors the Lord and allows for the flourishing of our fellow citizens.
