Youth Development Grants
Founded in 1996, Sista II Sista is a collective of women in their 20's and 30's who are committed to being a resource for younger women of color in Brooklyn so that they can develop their own collective power.

SIIS received a $30,000 grant to provide organizing training to 16 teenage women, and to engage them in local organizing campaigns around sexual harassment and youth-police relations.
