To further support and expand its mission, the Women’s Fund SouthCoast (WFSC) is excited to join 15 other Women’s Funds from around the country as a member of the National Philanthropic Collaborative of Young Women’s Initiatives (the Collaborative).
The Collaborative works to advance systems changes and impact marginalized young women and gender-expansive youth and communities of color through the Young Women’s Initiative program (YWI). The YWI program was designed to ensure all young women – particularly young women and gender-expansive youth of color – lead, prosper economically, and live safe and healthy lives.

The WFSC hopes to announce its community partner and more work relative to the YWI on or around August 9th! Stay tuned!
