Our project

The Queen in Me

The Queen In Me Project is a 12-month program that prepares girls ages 8-21 to meet the challenges of adolescence and young adulthood through a coordinated, progressive series of high-quality activities and learning experiences that help them to achieve social, emotional, spiritual, and physical well-being. Girls participate in 1:1 mentoring, community service, and enrichment activities as they gain the ability to lead themselves and others on a course of action. They also gain the ability to analyze their own strengths and weaknesses, set personal and vocational goals, and have the self-confidence and self-esteem to pursue and achieve their goals.

FOR THE 2023-24 PROJECT
Please complete the provided registration form, after which a mentor from The Queen In Me will reach out to them. The project comprises three main phases based on age groups:

DM (Discover Me)

Ages 8 – 10

Ages 8 – 10 All girls need a healthy, sensible start to life. As they begin their journey to adolescence, The Queen In Me project will assist the girls in identifying their own self worth and share the tools necessary to provide these girls a strong foundation so they enter adolescence with a healthy self-image and self- confidence.

AM (Authentically Me)

Ages 11 – 17

Middle school is a bridge from girlhood to being a teenager, It is the time of transition and rapid body development. The Queen In Me seeks to nurture these youth and young adult girls through this volatile life stage so they feel accepted and worthwhile and then emerge as vibrant, confident, and assured young ladies.

CM (Challenge Me)

Ages 17 – 21

Young ladies in high school and college are searching for independence and identity. Their personal needs and priorities are the basis for goals they set for their lives. They are ready to prepare for future careers and roles. The Queen In Me seeks to support the young ladies in discovering their potential.

The young ladies will occasionally gather as one large group to participate in community service activities.
