Austin FC fans, this is your chance to own a piece of Verde history while making a real impact in our community! YWA is auctioning off an official Austin FC jersey signed by the entire team, with 100% of the proceeds supporting our First-Gen College Scholarship Program with Austin-area Del Valle HS. This scholarship helps young women in Austin become the first in their families to attend college; breaking barriers and building brighter futures together.
YWA is supporting Del Valle HS as part of its commitment to empowering first-generation college-bound students in Austin. Del Valle HS serves a diverse student population, with many students coming from historically underserved communities. By focusing on these students, YWA is helping to break down financial and systemic barriers to higher education, ensuring that young women have access to the resources, mentorship, and scholarships they need to succeed in college and beyond.
Why Del Valle High School?
- High Percentage of First-Gen Students: Many students at Del Valle HS will be the first in their families to attend college.
- Financial Barriers: Many students face economic challenges that make higher education less accessible.
- Commitment to Equity: YWA prioritizes diversity, equity, and belonging in its initiatives, making Del Valle an ideal partner.
- Long-Term Impact: By investing in these students, YWA is shaping future women leaders and strengthening the Austin community.
