The Young Women Leaders Program is proud to announce that it has been chosen to receive the Outstanding Mentoring Program Award by the Virginia Mentoring Partnership. This award celebrates an outstanding program that serves the children and youth of Virginia. YWLP representatives traveled to Richmond on February 12, 2009, to receive this honor at the Jefferson Hotel.
The Virginia Mentoring Partnership was founded in 1994 and seeks to provide training and technical assistance to mentoring programs located in the state. Congratulations to all those involved with the program, especially the Little Sisters who make the program worthwhile!
