Creative Alternatives is a non-profit Creative Arts Therapies Center who use art, drama, music, and dance, to raise awareness, propose alternatives, inspire healing, and motivate critical engagement in social change.

Capacity building for youth led social change is programmed through the Ms. Foundation for Women. As Americas’ first national, multi-issue women’s fund, the Ms. Foundation directs resources of all kinds to cutting-edge projects that nurture girls' leadership skills, protect the health and safety of women, and provide low-income women with the tools to lift themselves and their families out of poverty. CFYS is a program which supports organizations working at the intersection of positive youth development, youth-led social change and gender-conscious programming.

The first round of the collaborative fund, called the Collaborative Fund for Healthy Girls/Healthy Women, demonstrated that girls, given the proper support and structure, can and want to be social change agents and contribute positively to their wider communities.
