The Tyra Banks TZONE Foundation empowers girls and young women to live their dreams, discover new possibilities within themselves and take on life's challenges with fierce determination and drive.

TZONE is about building self-esteem and confidence, launching leaders, showing the world that girls can do and be anything they set their minds to. TZONE supports community organizations doing this work, whether through the arts or activism, media or mentoring, dancing or directing – however they choose to create their best futures.
TZONE is all about girls becoming fierce and focused in their lives.
launched the Tyra Banks TZONE Foundation with my own money because I feel I have a responsibility to lead by example and bring attention to the issues facing girls and young women. That’s the purpose of The Tyra Show and American’s Next Top Model – to inspire women to take positive action to realize their ambitions. I am now reaching out to my viewers, fans, business and other potential partners to join me in supporting TZONE.

TZONE Foundation is about:
Raising awareness about issues girls are faced with today- self esteem body image, social pressures, and the importance of providing girl-only spaces where girls can be free to relate to one another and create with one another.
Raising the bar in society by encouraging a public dialogue about these topics and giving a voice to those girls and young women often not heard, and to encourage philanthropy to support empowering girls and young women.
