YumaPrep
Inspiring the next generation of ethical leaders
Yuma Center, located in our nation’s capital, inspires women of all ages to grow professionally, personally, and spiritually. YumaPrep encourages young women, grades 9 - 12 to do great things in service to society. High School is about discovering your potential, honing your study skills, and developing your character. Family, school and extracurriculars are the key players in supporting every young woman at this age.
A YumaPrep day begins with a leadership capsule, based on the Harvard Business Review publications which is followed by breakout discussions by grade on different topics, and concludes with mentoring. In the breakout discussions, experienced women professionals share their career paths, challenges, and the virtues they exercise while serving others in and through their work. Our inspiring speakers help high school girls learn new ways to develop their talents and integrate family, faith and work.
“YumaPrep has provided me with an invaluable learning experience outside of the classroom, and I know I will be able to apply these lessons to my everyday life.”
Tell me more…
YumaPrep brings new meaning to professional development for young women.
Leading well is more than acquiring a set of skills, approaches or learning business techniques. Authentic leadership involves developing one’s character and growing in virtue.
Every high school girl interested in becoming a force for positive change should ask herself:
What does it mean to be a competent professional, and to serve family and society?
How can I become both a leader and a contributor?
YumaPrep offers monthly professional seminars, discussion forums, individual mentoring and time for socializing.
"Being part of Yuma has allowed me to meet some of my closest, most trustworthy friends."
