In a world where challenges persist for women and female juvenile offenders, a beacon of hope emerges through the mission of the You First Community Foundation. Our dedication lies in reshaping destinies, breaking cycles, and fostering opportunities for those often marginalized in society.
Period Action Day is an annual event dedicated to combating period poverty and stigma, and we believe that your support could make a significant difference in this critical initiative.
Period poverty is a pressing issue that affects millions globally, with one in five girls in the United States missing school due to a lack of access to necessary period products. Our mission drives us to address this issue head-on by raising awareness, distributing products, and advocating for change.
