Programming

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.

The first round of the collaborative fund, called the Collaborative Fund for Healthy Girls/Healthy Women, demonstrated that girls, given the proper support and structure, can and want to be social change agents and contribute positively to their wider communities.

This is a "how-to" book, intended for community mobilizers who want to stimulate social change in a community in the direction of more development, poverty eradication, better governance, increased integrity and transparency in the management of community affairs; in short, empowerment of that community.

It includes great handouts, modules and even PowerPoint's.

Features step by step guides and videos on how to grow your organization.
