The 22 young women were celebrated for their six-year dedication to leadership development, cultural enrichment, and community service. National Charity League empowers young women with the skills and confidence to lead, and these young ladies have volunteered over 4,300 hours at 20 different non-profit organizations such as Bay Area Rescue Mission, Taylor Family Foundation, Contra Costa Food Bank, and the Oakland Zoo. The young women give a speech to the 400 event attendees, discussing what National Charity League has meant to them and the philanthropies they support.
