Young Women of Action

Young WOMEN OF ACTION

When these young women saw a need, they stepped up and made things better. The girls recognized are FCCPS students. They are leaders in the SCA, Black Student Union, Social Justice Clubs, Women's History, Mental Health, and the School Board. Our community is stronger because they are taking action to bring their vision for a better world to life.
