Mission Statement
Women and Youth Advancement Inc. (WOYA) is a global nonprofit rooted in the belief that real change begins when we center the voices and experiences of those most often left out of the conversation. Our mission is to dismantle systemic discrimination, economic exclusion, and gender-based barriers by advancing financial justice, mental wellness, and equitable access to digital tools and socio-economic opportunity. We do this by creating intentional spaces where women, youth, and underserved communities can heal, learn, and lead. Through AI-powered small business training, reintegration programs, strategic global partnerships, and collaborative innovation platforms like Pathways to Empowerment, Beautiful Wings Project or and our Collaborative Ai Group, WOYA equips individuals not just to survive systems—but to reimagine and rebuild them. From NYC Department of Corrections or NYC Commission on Gender Based Violence, New York to international stages at the United Nations, WOYA is building a movement grounded in community care, radical imagination, and unapologetic equity. We’re not just talking about the future—we’re co-creating it. Together. Support our current fundraiser on Givebutter: https://givebutter.com/mQyE0j
About This Cause
Women and Youth Advancement Inc. (WOYA) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization committed to dismantling systemic discrimination, economic exclusion, and gender-based limitations by advancing gender equality, financial justice, mental wellness, and equitable access to digital tools, education, and socio-economic opportunity. Founded on the belief that real change begins at the margins—with those most often left out of the conversation—WOYA works to build inclusive systems that not only help center teen girls, women, youth of underserved communities but equip them to reimagine and rebuild the very structures that have historically excluded them. What We Do WOYA delivers bold, community-rooted programming across three core pillars: 1. Economic Empowerment & Financial Justice Pathways to Empowerment: Our flagship program offering AI-powered small business training, entrepreneurship support, and reintegration workshops, especially for justice-impacted and underserved individuals. Collaborations with ICTTM and ADAMftd: We partnered to equip women and youth with access to trade intelligence and advanced data tools for participation in global markets. 2. Mental Health & Wellness The Beautiful Wings Project: Intimate wellness circles and trauma-informed workshops centering survivors of gender-based violence, post/ incarcerated women, and foster system survivors. WOYA works with entities like the NYC Department of Corrections, NYC Commission on Gender-Based Violence, and others to bring healing and wellness strategies into systems that need them most. 3. Inclusive Innovation & AI for Impact Collaborative AI Group (CAiG): A global forum for women co-creating ethical, inclusive AI that centers the lived experiences of women and allies. CollaboratR (Launch July 2025): A cross-regional innovation hub where women and allies design AI-driven solutions for mental health, small business, and systemic reform. Where We Work New York City & Long Island: In partnership with local government, correctional facilities, and community networks. West Africa (Nigeria, and Burkina Faso): School meal programs, mental health and empowerment circle.
