Adult learners studying to earn a high school equivalency diploma through YWCA Tri-County Area received a boost recently from the members of the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority’s Valley Forge Alumnae Chapter.

Members of the Valley Forge Alumnae Chapter donated to YW’s Education and Training Center, which works with adult learners as they improve basic skills toward a high school equivalency diploma and prepare for the workplace.
