About YWOG Programme
Young Women of Grace®️ (YWOG) is a Catholic formation program for girls ages 12–17 that helps them discover their dignity, purpose, and mission as beloved daughters of God. Through Scripture, prayer, and community, participants learn what it means to live out their “feminine genius” — the unique spiritual strength, beauty, and compassion God has given to women.
In a world that often challenges faith and identity, Young Women of Grace®️ offers a space for growth, friendship, and spiritual confidence. Each session invites girls to see themselves through God’s eyes, deepen their understanding of the Catholic faith, and become women who lead with grace and courage.
Our Mission
To inspire and equip young women to embrace their God-given dignity and calling as instruments of His grace in the world.
Our Vision
A generation of young women who know their worth in Christ, live with wisdom and joy, and reflect God’s love through lives of virtue, leadership, and service.
What do we do
Through interactive sessions, guided reflections, and sisterhood experiences, the Young Women of Grace®️ Study Program helps participants:
·Grow in their Catholic faith and love for Scripture
·Develop a deeper prayer life and sense of virtue
·Build strong, faith-filled friendships
·Discover their spiritual gifts and personal mission
·Live with confidence, compassion, and courage
Each girl is invited to see that she is not ordinary, but one of God’s special agents of grace — chosen to bring hope, beauty, and love into the world.

Meet Our Founders & Contributions
Young Women of Grace®️ was founded by Johnnette S. Benkovic, internationally known author, speaker, and host of Women of Grace®️ Live on EWTN. With deep devotion to the Blessed Mother and a lifelong mission to help women discover their purpose in Christ, Johnnette envisioned a program that would form the hearts of young women in faith and virtue.
She was joined by an extraordinary team of Catholic women — Susan Brinkmann, Mary Jo Anderson, Ronda Chervin, Genevieve Kineke, Rosalind Moss (Mother Miriam of the Lamb of God, O.S.B.), and Dale O’Leary — all respected theologians, educators, and writers. Together, they created a transformative journey that blends theology, real-life wisdom, and authentic sisterhood.
Their shared vision continues to inspire thousands of young women around the world to stand firm in faith, shine with joy, and live as radiant witnesses of God’s love.
