Los Angeles, United States - November 2024 - As women around the world increasingly assume leadership roles, it is essential to empower young women with skills and confidence. This year, 22 young women from the Salesian Family Youth Centre attended the ‘Women in Leadership Conference’ hosted by the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce. Accompanied by Executive Director, Juan Carlos Montenegro, and Council members, these young leaders gained insights on mental health, inclusiveness, economic stability, resilience and open communication, all vital foundations for modern leadership. The Salesian Family Youth Centre's participation in this conference provided a concrete example of its dedication to fostering growth, skills and resilience in young people, particularly young women. Seeing these young women networking with each other and learning new skills was a source of pride for the Centre. Indeed, this experience inspired the young women to create positive change, reflecting the wider impact in young women around the world.
