to become confident and purpose-driven leaders
Empowering Girls
Ladies of Virtue (LOV) is a transformative mentoring and leadership experience
for girls, ages 9 to 18, living in underserved communities.
Our LOV sisters are prepared for leadership through character development, career readiness and civic engagement.
After graduating from high-school, with successful completion of our leadership program, participants are mentored and supported for six additional years as LOV 4 Life alumni.
