We need education and resources. If we don't know, how can we grow? That's our goal. You know, one of our goals, because at this point, I believe we served at least 200 families or more. But our goal is to really actually reach out more in our community to really not just with Franklin County right but throughout Central Ohio so that we can give opportunities to more girls and boys even with that. Yes, of course our focus with Women Just Like Me is our girls and our young women and just women, right? But just youth in general. So we do want to help both.
