Dreams for women, young women leaders, YWLP

We’ve recently discovered a batch of postcards from The Young Women Leaders Program from the University of Central Florida that should have been posted during our “Young Women Leaders – What are your dreams for women?” run during the summer. We hope you enjoy these postcards over the next few weeks!
