Knowledge Building

Capacity building for youth led social change is programmed through the Ms. Foundation for Women. As Americas’ first national, multi-issue women’s fund, the Ms. Foundation directs resources of all kinds to cutting-edge projects that nurture girls' leadership skills, protect the health and safety of women, and provide low-income women with the tools to lift themselves and their families out of poverty. CFYS is a program which supports organizations working at the intersection of positive youth development, youth-led social change and gender-conscious programming.
