Program Details
1. **WINGS (Women Inspire and Nurture Girls to Succeed)**: This program invites high school girls (ages 14-18) from the San Bernardino School District to participate in a half-day event focused on education, future careers, self-esteem building, and eating etiquette. The event includes a keynote speaker, a luncheon, and a full banquet-catered meal.
