Pretty Purposed is excited to introduce our Alumni Leadhers. Our Alumni Leadhers engage in representing Pretty Purposed as ambassadors that support community engagement and outreach, youth led advocacy, development, and other special projects. Each Leadher is an alumni of Pretty Purposed programs and will be working alongside us as we carry out girl centered work within the Tri-Cities and surrounding counties. They are spending their summer training and developing leadership skills with Pretty Purposed staff. Follow our work as we grow together.
