Young Women’s Initiative

Empowering young women across Philadelphia

Now in its 25th year, the WOMEN’S WAY Young Women’s Initiative (YWI) is a dynamic group of people between the ages of 21 and 45 who identify as women or gender expansive / gender non-conforming / non-binary. This volunteer-led young friends group is composed of individuals who are focused on social justice and dedicated to advancing gender and racial equity. YWI works to develop its members as community and business leaders, advocates for social change, and civically-engaged philanthropists raising critical funds for WOMEN’S WAY. It also serves as a way to connect with progressive peers and make a difference in the community.
