Young Women's Initiative

Young Women’s Initiative (YWI) is a seven-year programmatic response and broad cross-sector collaboration aimed to empower and affirm young women of color ages 12-24.

Through research collaborative grantmaking and advocacy, YWI-Dallas and YWI-Houston is amplifying the collective power of young women to identify and address core issues, and create solutions toward meaningful systemic change.

If you are interested in participating in the Young Women’s Initiative, please contact our Grants Team at grants@txwf.org.
