 Environmental Awareness
Younger women still struggle to take their place as leaders in business, politics, activism, and academia. We may be dissuaded from leadership due to lack of confidence, experience, or positive influences. YWTF-NYC provides resources and opportunities for younger women to develop our leadership skills and become leaders in our community. We hope to create a vibrant pool of younger female leaders who will lead this and future generations with strength and integrity.
