Who Are Young Women on the Rize (YWOTR)?
They have said “it takes a village to raise (a) child” Our program acknowledges everyone as a vital proponent in each of our members’ success. In this village we work together to strengthen young women in providing them with the necessary critical thinking skills in order for them to become leaders and future role models. In today’s society being fiscally responsible is valued along with being able to establish healthy lifestyles for the avid growth of these young women’s mindset.
