The meticulous planning, consideration of participant needs, and strategic scheduling underscore ICW’s commitment to fostering a community where the youth can actively engage with their faith and each other in a meaningful way.

As the program evolves, it stands as a testament to ICW’s commitment to fostering a sense of community, sisterhood, and empowerment among its youth.
