In this season of Thanksgiving, YLDA is grateful for our University of Phoenix intern, Mrs. Sonya Pulliam-Payne. She has been quietly working behind the scenes to support our mission and prepare us for our upcoming cohort of students. Our next YLDA Leadership Academy will take place June 22-26, 2026. Rising 8th, 9th, and 10th-grade students are encouraged to apply. More details will be shared soon. Thank you, Sonya, for being a blessing to us and our students! 🍁🍂🦃🧡
