The Young women's Project (ywp) engages under-resourced youth of color, ages 14-21, with a focus on teen women and youth in care. During the year ended september 30, 2020, ywp hired and trained 262 Young people from 25 DC public and charter schools, all backgrounds and identities, all wards, mostly black and brown youth and women. Half of our youth live or go to school in wards 5, 7 and 8; 20 percent are system identified or dealing with unstable housing. Ywp has built a citywide network membership of hundreds of youth advocates in all wards, most schools, united behind a shared vision of youth progress and working toward a city where youth are engaged in the decisions and institutions that impact their lives. Ywp's work is organized into two program areas.

The names, titles, and compensation shown on this page are reproduced from IRS Form 990 filings, which are public records.

Philanthropy.org does not alter the content of those filings. All information appears exactly as reported by the filing organization for the tax year shown.

We publish only information contained in the public IRS filing — and less than the filing contains. Our profile pages do not display street addresses, telephone numbers, personal email addresses, or other personal contact information, even where the filing includes them.

Many people share the same name. A name shown on this page reflects only what one organization reported in one IRS filing for one tax year. It should not be interpreted as identifying any other individual with the same or a similar name.

If you are no longer affiliated with the organization, your name will generally stop appearing in future IRS filings once the organization no longer reports you. Pages for tax years in which you were reported remain published because those filings remain part of the public record.

Philanthropy.org does not alter or remove IRS filing records. Removing a page from this website would not remove the underlying IRS filing, which remains publicly available from the IRS and other publishers of the same information.

If you believe the IRS filing itself is inaccurate, corrections must be made by the filing organization or the IRS directly.
