About me:
The Ms. Foundation is the leading, philanthropic institution championing an equitable society for women and girls in the United States. The foundation’s mission is to support the efforts of women and girls to govern their own lives and influence the world around them. Through its leadership, expertise and financial support, the Foundation champions an equitable society by effecting change in public consciousness, law, philanthropy and social policy. Our highest goal is to bring about a stronger democracy of equity and inclusion in this country.
The Ms. Foundation has a history of independent thinking. Behind this independence lies a web of core values – the unifying force of community; the desire of all people to reach their full potential; the power of collective action; and the inclusion of multiple voices to speak our truths.
The foundation is pursuing a multi-issue, multi-layered approach to building a strong social justice feminist movement in the United States that connects to, and works with, activists in other social justice movements. We focus our resources on supporting the leadership, and elevating the voices, of women who, because of race, class, geography and other factors, live their lives at the margins of our society. Our philanthropy is both visionary and effective because of our gender, race and class lens. Grantees are partners in, and an extension of, the foundation’s bold vision for change.

Who I'd like to meet:
Katrina Women’s Response Fund
Women Leading Change
Formed in the immediate aftermath of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, the Ms. Foundation for Women’s Katrina Women’s Response Fund has provided over $2 million in strategic support to nearly 40 community-based organizations on the Gulf Coast. Our goal has been to offer critical, ongoing support for women’s grassroots leadership and to increase the participation of low-income women and women of color in policy-making decisions—all to ensure a truly equitable transformation of people’s lives in the region across the spectrum of gender, race and class.

This program is a great way for you to become a professional peer educator. A peer educator outreaches in their community and conducts Safer Sex Gatherings. The whole training is twelve hours along. Seven hours are done on our first initial meeting and the remaining hours out in the field. Volunteers receive a $20.00 food voucher after their first training on Saturday.
Volunteers are encouraged to do Role Model Stories and stay involved with the agency with ongoing projects. This is a great training with the opportunity to learn how to give presentations and learn about the impact HIV/AIDS has in our community.
I truly look forward in forming relationship with all of you. It takes a person with great passion, charisma, a comedian, and strength to spread the important information we have about HIV/AIDS. Becoming a Peer Network Educator is a crucial way to give back and transform our community. Remember I’m just a condom, lube, Safer Sex presentation away.
Thank you for being a friend of Generation Five and an ally in ending child sexual abuse!! And thank you for all that you have done!!
