To join the year-long YWLC program, start by signing up for the Summer Conference, a 6-day leadership program specifically
designed for high school girls. Students will learn first-hand about what it means to be a leader, a social entrepreneur, a peace-builder—a well-rounded globally minded individual.
Each day they will hear from expert speakers and will engage in interactive team-building activities, and have the opportunity to create their own project, called the Take Action Challenge (TAC). The
TAC will enable students to use their leadership and critical thinking skills to experience first-hand in a real world setting what it means to start a project with a vision, a goal, as well as fundraising,
marketing, and communication. Students will have 10 months to complete their TAC.
