This weekend, we hosted events to celebrate the women of ASYV, both students & staff, in honor of #InternationalWomensDay. Through creative expression and spaces for reflection, the day sought to create dialogue and connection around values central to Village life: #GenderEquity.

These photos were taken by the members of our Girls Media Class! “When I came to ASYV, I realized I loved photography,” says Keza Audrey. “But it can be scary. This class gives us confidence. I want to tell girls to not be scared. If you want a camera, go ask for it.” #IWD2026
