Stand 4 Sisterhood

STAND 4 SISTERHOOD, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit established in December 2016, exists to create generational sustainability by strengthening the socio-economic conditions of underserved girls and women via multi-generational mentoring (personally and professionally), advocacy, awareness, and the power of prevention. The purpose of S4S is to eliminate the economic, mental, and social barriers for girls and women resulting in poverty, gender inequality, and relentless cycles of abuse and addiction. Furthermore, the vision of S4S is to enrich girls and women globally with a foundation of identity that will empower them to live, lead, and leave a legacy for generations to follow. To bring sincere support, hope and sustainability to girls and women, S4S reintegrates the power of ‘Each one, Reach one’ via the strategic implementation of multi-generational mentoring. 4Core: Mentoring 4 Generations serves as a catalyst of change to catapult our society into proactive solutions by presenting opportunities for girls and women from all generations to connect, engage, and exchange life experiences while paying it forward as a collective cohort. S4S is committed to investing in the underserved girls of our communities via our LEVEL-UP Initiative with Innovation Design Entrepreneurship Academy (DISD School) and via our annual 7-Day Life Enrichment Camp: Diamonds in the Rough. Both programs focus on Life Skills, STEM, Financial Literacy, Tutoring, College & Career Readiness, Entrepreneurship, Diversity, Mental Health, Wellness/Self-Care, Communication, Family Dynamics and SMART Goals. Since establishment, S4S has empowered girls and women via our advocacy and awareness outreach, provided meals, clothing, and hygiene products to within the homeless and domestic violence communities, distributed backpacks filled with school supplies to youth in LMI areas, awarded $40K+ in scholarships, and since the onset of COVID-19 supplied PPE (masks, gloves, and sanitizing wipes
