YBI Girls Beauty & Self Love Day
Girls feel better when well taken care of. YBI & Positive Directions ran a girls self love and care day. YBI students got pampered 1 or 2 professional services at the program center. All services were in-kind service donations by professionals and entrepreneurs from different areas and it was one of YBI student's favorite day events yet. We look forward to future day programs that promote self love and development for both girls and boys.
