YWTF Turns 1, 10/12/17 @ John Collins Bar
A year ago we launched with a vision for a platform of young women who could bring together their individual skills, and a little bit of their time to have a tangible positive impact on the Bay Area. Its been a great first year. From our numerous internal events that have sparked conversation and new focuses to the successful Women in Stem partnership with Techbridge Girls, we have brought together passionate young women to benefit the greater community.
But we are just getting started! Join us on 10/12 to celebrate the last year and launch into year 2. We are picking up speed in our next focus: Women’s Health. And will be announcing our Women’s Health non-profit partner. Come to discuss how you can get involved in our partnership and give back directly to the community.
Not yet a YWTF member? We would love to have you! Come hear more about what we do, who we are, and what we hope to give to our members and the greater community.

Come join us to for good drinks, great company, and to learn more about YWTF-SF as we celebrate the start of something big Thursday September 22nd, 6:30PM, at 111 Minna.
Here at YWTF – SF we want to bring passionate young women together, share our skills, and take action in the community. We believe in the power of smart, strong, dedicated women who want to make a difference. The Younger Women’s Task Force was founded to give young women an outlet to harness this power to make a substantive impact on their communities.
– Why: We know there are a lot of young women like us in SF: ambitious, busy, want to get involved, but only have a little bit of time and a little bit of money. This group is building from the ground up- you’re welcome to contribute as much or as little as you can!
– What: A group of smart, dedicated women who want to work together to make a difference in the causes we care about. We are a group by women for women.
– How: Every 6 months we partner with a non profit affecting change on an issue we care about. Through meetups, activities, and a culminating Impact Event, we will bring the YWTF- SF community together around a cause. Meetups are a chance for us to get together and meet other women taking the Bay Area by storm. The Impact Event is our opportunity to make a difference and will take whatever form fits our cause, our nonprofit partners, and our members.
By coming to this event, you support women across San Francisco. There is no commitment to join, just a commitment to have a good time! See you there!
Founders Launch Meeting: 7/14/2016
Prospective founders meeting will bring together the initial members of YWTF-SF to discuss the launch and future direction of the organization. Very excited to hear what this amazing group of young women come up with as we approach our full organization launch.
