Sims-Fayola Foundation is a people-centered organization working at the intersection of programming and policy to transform the conditions shaping the lives of boys and young men of color.

Who We Are

We work through three levers: proof-point implementation, leadership and development, and policy advocacy that turns those proof points into lasting systemic change.

What We Do

Boys and young men of color deserve systems built to support them, not systems they are expected to adapt to and survive.

Why This Matters

"The Sims-Fayola Foundation designs systems of belonging that improve outcomes for boys and young men of color. As we move toward 2030, our focus is on strengthening the systems that shape opportunity, not simply responding to their consequences."

THE SIMS FRAMEWORK

Systems generally produce the outcomes they are designed to produce. The Sims Framework helps leaders examine the beliefs, structures, and practices within their organizations to understand why, and how to create change.

“The Sims-Fayola Foundation provides insights for young African-American men in ways unlike many other organizations. These young men are given first-hand experiences on the infinite opportunities waiting for them in the outside world. ”
