When we’re lifting up those around us, we all win—it’s a sentiment echoed by some of the women we’ve been lucky enough to speak with over the past year (find more on that here), and the truth of it comes out in practice. If someone has moved through a previously closed door, she can reach a hand back to help the next person through.
Women’s History Month is a time to celebrate women, our achievements, our art, our thinking. Sharing resources among women is the least we can do.
* Of the below, Youth To The People has previously given monetary and in-kind donations to: She Should Run; Girls for Gender Equity; Global Fund For Women; Writegirl; and Black Girls Code.
Much like our Anti-Racist Resource Guide, this is a living list, and as we become aware of more we’ll continue to add them here. To contribute to the list, please email your suggestions to [email protected].
