YOUTH LEADERSHIP PROGRAM
Leading the way to social change and getting volunteer hours for college applications!
Our youth leadership and volunteer program empowers the young leaders of today to take a stand against gender violence and support our abused girls shelter in Sierra Leone, raising money and getting volunteer hours and experience for their college applications!
