THE YOUNG WOMEN’S LEADERSHIP SCHOOLS Operated by Student Leadership Network (SL Network), The Young Women’s Leadership Schools (TYWLS) are a network of five public secondary schools serving girls and gender-expansive youth of color from primarily underserved communities in New York City. A longtime ELCCF partner, TYWLS supports the development of the “whole girl” in four core areas: college and career awareness, STEM, health and wellness, and leadership development. During the 2020-2021 school year, 99% of the class graduated from high school, with 98% of graduating seniors accepted into college. Additionally, 2,850 students were impacted through renewed support for SL Network’s CollegeBound Initiative (CBI) at TYWLS East Harlem and Girl’s Academic Leadership Academy of Los Angeles (GALA), an affiliate school of SL Network. ELCCF provided supplemental funding for the CollegeBound Initiative at TYWLS Brooklyn, TYWLS Astoria, and TYWLS Queens and funded a mental health counselor focused on COVID-19 trauma support at TYWLS Bronx. GRANTMAKERS FOR GIRLS OF COLOR Grantmakers for Girls of Color (G4GC) works to amplify and mobilize resources to support organizing work led by girls and gender-expansive youth of color in the United States to achieve measurable change. Through a grant to G4GC, we aim to build on our existing commitment to girls’ education and racial equity with an added emphasis on partnering with local groups at the intersection of race and gender. Our grant primarily supports G4GC’S Black Girl Freedom Fund, G4GC’s largest initiative and part of the #1Billion4BlackGirls campaign, a 10-year initiative dedicated to supporting the brain trust, health, innovation, safety, education, artistic visions, research, and joy of Black girls and their families. Now, more than ever, we are depending on partners like The Estée Lauder Companies to help ensure that we are able to continue the support we provide to students. The generosity of the ELCCF allows us to impact the lives of so many well-deserving young women. We are truly grateful for the ELCCF’s steadfast support for the last 18 years—we honestly couldn’t do the work we do without it!
