On March 14, the Women's Fund hosted a luncheon for thirteen middle school girls from the Charles R. Drew Science Magnet School who participated in the Structures in Science summer program. Small groups comprised of students, Women's Fund board members and volunteers discussed issues around self-esteem and role models. This was the second luncheon in a two-part series planned for the school year.
