"With the hope
that success breeds
success, the Young
Women's Leadership
Network
Network launched a
second school
in the fall
2004: The
Bronx Campus
of TYWLS,
East Harlelm.
From what we
saw on our
tour of the
school, only
six months
into its
initial
year, the
group has
good reason to
be optomistic."
