**Two organizations. One mission. **

The Ysleta Young Women’s Leadership Academy is a member of the Young Women’s Preparatory Network (YWPN), a nonprofit organization that partners with public school districts across Texas to operate the largest network of all-girls, public, college preparatory schools in the nation. YWLA opened in the 2016-2017 school year with 125 6th grade girls and 98 7th grade girls adding a new 6th-grade cohort every year after. Currently, 368 students are enrolled in the school, of which more than 75% are identified as economically disadvantaged.

Together, we champion the educational needs of girls – creating an environment in which they are challenged to achieve their full academic potential, develop their talents and skills and explore leadership opportunities.

Will you join us? For our female scholars, strong foundation for success begins with investment. Our unique approach – combining private and public resources – allows us to create opportunities for our students that would not otherwise be possible. Will you join us? Funds will support our “To and Through College Preparatory Program,” which allows students to visit area and national colleges, get one-on-one college advising, prepare for the SAT and ACT and more.
