This year over 300 young women throughout Los Angeles were acknowledged for their completion of our 8-month YWAR program. Many individuals came to acknowledge their work, along with Commission staff and Councilwoman Janice Hahn. Overall,we had a great time rewarding our hard-working women, while also enjoying great food. The highlight of the event came when a selected number of young women presented poems and essays about all the important things that they learned from YWAR!
