BRANCH DESCRIPTION 
For information contact: prescyw@ncjwhouston.org

 

Concerned Young Women is exactly that - a group of courageous, compassionate, and powerful young women dedicated to making a change in our community.  We come from diverse backgrounds.  We are single women, wives, mothers, professionals, and community leaders, but we all have one thing in common - we are thinkers and doers.  Guided by Jewish values, we are unafraid to take a stand on progressive issues in order to protect the rights of women, children, and families.
