PURE

Program Description
PURE is a 12-week program designed to encourage young women to discover the beauty of their purpose and
celebrate the uniqueness of their identity. PURE is designed to reinforce to its participants their value and the
value of their gender in such a way that influences them to view themselves and their counterparts in a positive
