The I AM Y.O.V.E. Mission & Vision
The Youth of Valor Empowerment (YOVE) Program believes that each girl carries the potential to become leaders of change within their communities. Lack of mentorship intervention, lack of seriousness towards education, lack of knowledge, amongst minority youths, is the root of social challenges one of which is producing unproductive citizens. The YOVE Program has created three important organizational goals for the girls: To increase career preparation readiness, mentorship intervention for the YOVE Program for all the participants from 9-12 grades, to increase high school graduation and college readiness rates among them to 100%., to increase the college acceptance and attendance rate of the YOVE girls up to 100%
Our vision is to train, develop and equip girls to be effective leaders for tomorrow, caring citizens, and self-aware of themselves and their communities. In addition, is to have up to 100% high school graduating rate yearly, be placed among one of the best after school program in the community.
Let’s Cheer with Y.O.V.E. Girls!
Core Values & Beliefs
“Y.O.V.E. is not a program, but a movement where the community can come together to create a me too style movement, geared toward protecting girls from becoming victims of human trafficking, dropping out of school, early teen pregnancy and homelessness”
