Supporters who give $5,000 or more in one calendar year are part of Sylvia’s Sustainers. Sylvia Ferrell-Jones, YW Boston’s former President and CEO, was a champion for women of color in Boston. By joining Sylvia’s Sustainers, you are continuing her legacy.
I was immediately attracted to YW Boston’s mission. How could you not gravitate to an organization that unapologetically states their goal is to empower women and eliminate racism?

The YW discussion leaders were so great at introducing concepts and framing the conversation. I thought the work was so impressive, I wanted to be part of helping the YW team do more, across all of their programs.
