WAFF is committed to fighting systemic racism, inequality, inequity, and injustice, all over the globe. Rodgers recorded a powerful video message about this initiative, which hits home to him. It was inspired by the relevance and significance of his classic song “We Are Family.” The mission of this nonprofit organization involves bringing people together from different kinds of ethnic backgrounds, and cultures.

For more than 10 years, the WAFF has been a leader in amplifying and supporting the actions and voices of diverse youth leaders around the world. These young leaders are positively addressing issues pertaining to basic human needs such as food, water, shelter, health, safety, education, and the environment. Unfortunately, all of these basic needs are compromised with systemic racism in America.
As a result, the WAFF created the “Youth to the Front Fund” (YTTF Fund), in an effort to support and fund BIPOC youth activists (under the age of 30), youth-led organizations, projects, innovations, and creative solutions that are fighting systemic racism, inequality, inequity, and injustice in the United States and around the world. The YTTF Fund is an ongoing sustainable commitment.
The WAFF is a nonprofit organization that is dedicated to the visions of a global family. It creates programs that promote cultural diversity while it nurtures and mentors the vision, talents, and ideas of the young leaders that are impacting the world in a positive way.
Earlier this year, as Digital Journal reported, the WAFF announced its 35 Global Teen Leaders for 2020.
