    Letter from Our President

    We are delighted to present our inaugural IWF Northern California Legacy Foundation Annual Report for 2016–2017

    In 2014, the Legacy Foundation was re-launched under the leadership of Barbara Creed and Sue Sprunk Following a survey of over 30 IWF NorCal members, the Legacy mission was redefined as working “to improve the status of women and foster the development of future women leaders ”

    As part of our mission, we launched the Legacy Partnership Project to identify members of our community who are focused on advancing women and developing future leaders Based on nominations submitted by IWF NorCal members, we interviewed potential candidates and selected up to three finalists Our donors actively participated by voting and selecting our partners, who are currently Year Up and Girl Scouts of Northern California We are pleased to share highlights of our two partners in this 2016-2017 Annual Report

    In 2017, we have focused on refreshing our mission and defining the key tenets of our strategy as:

    • Leadership: Advance and inspire leadership of women and girls in our community

    • Impact: Make measurable impact for our community partners, with deep engagement and mutual accountability

    • Connectivity: Engage IWF NorCal members by providing meaningful ways to give their time, talent and treasure

    This report will present how we are fulfilling our mission and finding meaningful ways to engage IWF NorCal members through their philanthropy, experience and wisdom Your important contributions range from mentoring, sharing experiences and wisdom from our IWF NorCal leaders and your generous donations

    We are excited about the future and how we will impact our communities This would not be possible with your commitment

    Thank you for continued support as we continue this journey… you are making a difference

    After over ten years of attending graduations, I still love seeing our students simultaneously cross the stage and the Opportunity Divide!

    No other youth development program can match our outcomes.

    Year Up’s Opportunity Society is a community of philanthropic individuals and families who believe in the potential of our young adults and are committed to closing the Opportunity Divide in this country. Society members understand the stark reality that while talent is equally distributed, opportunity is not. They share hope and a vision of a future in which every young adult has access to the education, experiences, and guidance required to realize their true potential.

    Launched in 2016, the Opportunity Society welcomes any donor who gives $1,000 or more in a fiscal year. Investments made by society members enable Year Up to serve many more young adults, maintain high-quality program delivery, and support successful outcomes for our talented students.

    Corporate Highlights 12

    In addition to better equipping our young adults, the launch of our Product Catalog also provides incredible value for our corporate partners in need of entry-level talent. This standardized training curriculum is an important evolution that enables us to respond nimbly to market demand, facilitates efficient growth of our training, and provides leading companies with a consistent experience no matter where in the country they host a Year Up intern.

    We will regularly review and update the Product Catalog, using labor market trends and industry analysis to build training that best prepares our young adults for roles that are in high demand, ensuring that we are teaching the skills that our partners find most important, based on their evolving needs.

    We began this dynamic approach in 2016, using partner feedback to expand and innovate our program offerings, piloting new training to serve roles in Healthcare Administration, Data Analytics, Accounting, Personal Banking, Salesforce Administration, and Reference Data. Additionally, in partnership with State Street, we continued our test and exploration of an employer-based channel, welcoming a first class of Financial Operations students to State Street’s Quincy location in October.

    We are grateful to be able to collaborate with our forward-thinking corporate partners to open doors to new career pathways for our young adults.

    I’m always surprised when Year Up graduates say I have touched their lives because they have really touched mine.

    Their determination to change their circumstances is so inspiring. I’m only helping facilitate them changing their own lives—they come, they don’t let circumstances stop them, and they conquer.

    The $10,000 Legacy Foundation grant is specifically being used to expand Girl Scouts’ Got Choices program in San Francisco and Alameda counties

    Leadership and teambuilding experiences spark change when Got Choices girls meet teens from all over Northern California at leadership events like Camp CEO, where girls connect with women executives and challenge themselves in activities like the ropes course

    Got Choices is a prevention and intervention program for high-risk girls involved in the juvenile justice system The program is designed to reduce risky behaviors, increase protective factors, and support positive decision-making Girls receive a safe environment and extensive support through relationship building, health education, creative expression, community service, and life skills training

    Last year, Got Choices reached 931 girls, empowering the most vulnerable girls in our community to improve the trajectory of their lives IWF NorCal has adopted the Alameda County Juvenile Detention Center site, where girls participate in Got Choices year-round

    Leader Spotlight: Barbara Creed & Sue Sprunk

    The IWF Northern California Legacy Foundation began in 1990 under the leadership of Diane Winokur and Fran Streets who established the groundwork to create a legacy that could be passed to the next generation of leaders During their tenure, the Legacy Foundation sponsored several IWF Fellows and created five Oral Histories highlighting pioneering women leaders

    In 2014, Barbara Creed and Sue Sprunk refreshed the Legacy Foundation’s purpose by establishing a new direction for the organization known as the Legacy Partnership Project “Legacy provides an important way for the IWF NorCal membership to give back in a collective way to our community,” per Barbara Creed

    Today, in 2017 we have a vibrant partnership with Year Up and Girl Scouts of Northern California where our IWF NorCal members are making a visible impact In Sue Sprunk’s words, “We have found that members benefit from their relationship as much or more than the beneficiaries do ”

    As we look to the future and growing the Legacy Partnership Project, Sue says “We need to learn from each partnering organization and continue to evolve into an increasingly more effective sponsor ” Barbara agrees that we need to continue communicating to IWF NorCal members the “gift of Legacy and the dimensions in which Legacy gives back to our members and the important benefits that Legacy provides to our Bay Area communities ”

    Thank you to Barbara and Sue for their vision and leadership in creating this opportunity for our IWF NorCal members and the Legacy Foundation to make a difference in our community
