Teen services - the young womens leadership corps (ywlc) served 139 girls and teens, ages 13 to 18, in its year-round school-based and summer institute programs. This year marked a return to in-person services as students returned to school buildings. School-based programs served 102 middle and high schools in the greater hartford area, where YWCA staff, working with school staff liaisons, engaged participants in programming activities that focused deeply on the social and emotional wellbeing of participants, building leadership and advocacy skills, hands-on digital upskilling projects, and college and career readiness skills. Summer institute, back in person, expanded on the themes covered on the year-round curriculum with a particular focus on leasership and advocacy, and participants worked as a group to identify, research, and address issues within the local community.
