Aurora’s Community Partners from the University of Hartford Women’s Advancement Initiative’s LEAD Program recently teamed up with our Young Women’s Initiative for a powerful crossover experience ✨

The LEAD students joined us for a panel on college life, sharing how the program has supported their growth and leadership. They also helped YWI participants strengthen their public speaking skills through hands-on practice and encouragement.
Huge thanks to these incredible students for helping pave the way for the next generation of leaders. Thank you to the Ares Charitable Foundation for supporting the Aurora Young Women’s Initiative!
