Description
The school year marked the pilot of the Urban Scholars Young Women's program.

This program has been a long-standing goal of SJLI to be able to offer a program that alters the life trajectories for young women as it has done so for the original Urban Scholars program.

For the school year, the Young Women's Program (YWP) will be offered at three school districts, including the Antelope Valley Union High School District.

The ACSC is an essential part of the program team that implements the Young Women's Program.

The team includes the Program and Curriculum Coach, the school site Teacher-of-Record, the school principal on the school campus, the school counselor; and support from SJLI's Educational Equity Programs Director, Young Women's Program Manager, and the National Director of Programs.

The Program is also supported by Project Sankofa, who are our program, curriculum and training consultants.
