Y.O.V.E. Alumnae Leaders
The success of the Y.O.V.E. program lies in the stories of the many Y.O.V.E. Alumnae from the community who are now attending colleges and universities who have seized the opportunities and experience afforded to them through the Y.O.V.E. program to become the next generation of women leaders for tomorrow.
Commitment to the Y.O.V.E.s
The Y.O.V.E. Alumnae Leaders were students from high school who previously attended the Y.O.V.E. After School Leadership Development Program.
