Unlocking Opportunity for the Next Generation
We believe every young woman deserves the chance to succeed.
In celebration of our 50th Anniversary, The King’s Trust USA is proud to launch Women Supporting Women, a national campaign dedicated to empowering young women across the United States. Our goal is to raise $50,000 to expand access to life-changing programs that build confidence, skills, and real pathways into employment, self-employment, and education.
The need is urgent.
Young women in the U.S. are twice as likely to be out of work compared to young men. Behind that statistic are real young women with ambition, creativity, and resilience — but without access to opportunity.
For those who were already vulnerable before the pandemic — facing long-term unemployment, mental health challenges, housing insecurity, instability at home or school — the barriers can feel overwhelming.
Women Supporting Women exists to change that story.
Our Mission: To support, empower, and inspire young women to build a better future for themselves.
For 50 years, The King’s Trust has supported young people facing the greatest adversity to build the confidence and skills they need to live, learn, and earn. Around the world, and here in the U.S., our programs provide practical tools, mentorship, funding, and support that helps young women develop resilience, leadership, and belief in themselves.
When we invest in young women, the ripple effect strengthens families, communities, and the wider economy for years to come.
A Story of Impact: Fresh Faces
One example is Fresh Faces, an all-girls team from the Bronx.
With support from The Trust, they launched a hygiene kit business to ensure their classmates — 18% of whom were experiencing homelessness — could access essential hygiene products at an affordable cost. As their business grew, they used profits to provide free kits to those who couldn’t afford them.
Their impact went beyond entrepreneurship. They built confidence, leadership, and a brighter vision for their own futures.
“Taking part in Enterprise Challenge has taught us life skills that we could use in the future if we wanted to start our own business.”
