Board & Leadership

In 1996, Student Leadership Network opened the United States’ first all-girls public school in 30 years – The Young Women’s Leadership School of East Harlem. For nearly 30 years, the network has impacted over 80,000 students to gain access to educational opportunities that help prepare them to lead successful lives. Student Leadership Network now supports life-changing programs that empower youth from underserved communities across the country to create cycles of prosperity through education.
