PROGRAM SERVICE - YOUNG WOMENS EMPOWERMENT ACADEMY The Young Womens Empowerment Academy is our effort to prevent Human Trafficking and other crimes against girls in grades 3th-12th. We work with populations who are classified as being more vulnerable and susceptible to this crime and give them education, skills, entrepreneurship training and a community they can always depend on. We have created our own Empowerment Girl Curriculum and we see lives changed daily. IN 2024, WE HAD 53 GRADUATES. WE TOOK OVER 100 GIRLS AND MOMS TO ATLANTA AND CONDUCTED THE NATIONAL COLLEGE AND CULTURE TOUR.
