About Us
Young Women Striving for Excellence (YWSE) began in 1994, ministering to girls age 13 to 18. Eventually, as many of the young ladies had to bring younger siblings with them, the decision was made to expand the ministry. In 2008, YWSE became Youth Striving for Excellence (YSE), serving boys and girls ages 4 - 18.
We are a 501(c)(3) organization seeking to teach positive life skills and to break negative patterns of behavior while developing a strong relationship with God.
Our mission lies in the name itself: we help youth to strive for excellence in education and all their other endeavors.
