2024 V.O.W. Girls League Completes 8 Transformative Sessions: Empowering Young Leaders for the School Year Ahead!

Guess what? We’ve successfully completed 8 sessions this summer of the V.O.W. Girls League Sessions, and we’re seeing amazing progress! Through these sessions, we’ve focused on mentoring, investing, and encouraging young girls to take leadership roles and maintain a positive mindset as they head into their academic school year. The impact has been inspiring, and we’re excited to see these girls grow into confident leaders who are ready to make a difference in their schools and communities while focusing on healthy relationships. It is a joy to encourage our young ladies. At the end of the month we will have a speaker for our teens to learn more about self care and confidence.

The girls were given the opportunity to explore several renowned college campus grounds, immersing themselves in the vibrant academic environments and gaining a firsthand feel for college life.

The students were engaged in informative sessions where they asked questions about scholarships and admission processes, receiving valuable guidance and advice from college representatives. Feedback from young ladies highlighted their increased confidence and excitement about pursuing higher education, marking the tour as a pivotal step in their academic journeys.

Visions of Women’s partnership with Molina Healthcare of the Midlands to donate baby items to the community for men and women with children between the ages of 0 to 18 months was nothing short of a resounding success.

This collaborative effort demonstrated the power of community support in action, addressing a crucial need for struggling families.

The donation of diapers, wipes, baby toiletries, Pedialyte, blankets, sweaters, car seats, and breast pumps made a profound impact, bringing relief to parents and caregivers facing challenges.

The outpouring of gratitude from local residents was heartwarming, as they recognized the significant assistance provided to them during a critical period in their lives.

Thank you Molina Healthcare for this collaboration to help parents with children.
