August 26th is Women’s Equality Day, when America recognizes the ratification of the 19th Amendment, which granted women the right to vote. Moreover, Women’s Equality Day calls to attention women’s continued struggle for full equality. At YouthBuild, where 30% of our students are female, we believe in equality for women in the classroom, on the worksite, and as leaders. In celebration of Women’s Equality Day, we recognize Gina Vongkaeo, YouthBuild San Joaquin graduate, who has met with success as a student, in her job with Carpenters Local 152, and as a leader.
