Celebrate National Women's History Month and Support The USJ Fund

Each year a new wave of girls enter USJ and four years later they leave as strong, independent and intelligent women. 

 

Many of these women would not be able to attend USJ without the help of others. Celebrate National Women's History Month by supporting USJ, an institution that provides society with powerful women each year!
