#TeamHB7

2022

We’re proud to introduce our #TeamHB7 cohort of 101 women who have been selected based on their outstanding potential to lead and create better outcomes for the planet. They are part of our vision to develop a 10,000-strong network of women with backgrounds in STEMM who can support each other in creating change.

These participants come from all across the world with their unique life experiences and qualifications in science, technology, engineering, mathematics or medicine (STEMM). They represent the diversity, initiative, bravery and collaboration that we champion at Homeward Bound.

Click onto their profiles below to learn more about these amazing individuals. Please keep an eye out for any links to crowdfunding campaigns in their bios and support them on their leadership journey.
