Women Equipping Youth
W.E.Y. (Women Equipping Youth) is a group of seven women who have vowed to change the direction of youth in America. W.E.Y has devised a set of standards to begin change in youth. W.E.Y are women who feel that if they help change the mind-set of young people, then the future will be better for all. Equipping youth to learn, understand and grow from various standpoints, will empower them to be better people, make better choices, and have better futures. Our goal is to equip youth so they can help themselves and impact their peers. W.E.Y. is a group of women who are motivated and excited for the change that is to come from the future leaders.
