Young Women’s Leadership Network (YWLN) is an entrepreneurial, results-driven nonprofit organization which is changing the lives of low-income students through two highly successful programs: Young Women’s Leadership Schools (TYWLS), a high-performing network of all-girls’ public schools, and CollegeBound Initiative (CBI), a school-based college guidance program for coed and single-sex public schools. Both programs have a proven track record in creating a college going culture in schools and making the dream of college a reality for a high proportion of our inner-city students.
