YES Camp Wrap-Up!

This summer 67 girls ages 6-13 had the great opportunity to attend Youth Empower Summer Camp on the University of Miami's beautiful Coral Gables Campus. Girls from Overtown, Liberty City, Little Haiti and all over Miami-Dade County attended Monday-Friday for six weeks to participate in skill building, fitness, entrepreneurship, literacy, social skills and cultural arts and education workshops.
  
As a result, girls made tremendous gains. Highlights of their achievements include 95% of girls increased oral reading fluency and 92% increase fitness endurance!
