Youth Program

 

The WOW! Youth Program is an initiative of the WOW! Forum, developed to introduce young women from area high schools to a career oriented, professional development opportunity. 

Prompted by the attendance of almost 200 high school seniors last year, the WOW! Youth Committee is working harder than ever to address the interests and needs of this group of young women.  Students from 17 area high schools have been invited to attend this year’s function.
