EMPOWERING YOUNG WOMEN

Looking for a community that empowers young women? Join Queens Being! Our mentoring program supports girls aged 11 to 18 in a positive environment.

We believe young women of color can become impactful leaders. Our small-group mentorship fosters personal purpose and identity through enriching experiences. We also engage in meaningful discussions about sexual reproductive health and dating violence, empowering informed decision-making.

At Queens Being, we focus on community and personal growth, helping young women build self-confidence, explore educational and career paths, and form strong connections across generations and cultures. Our core areas include College and Career Readiness, Positive Identity Development, and Healthy Living.

There are several incentives and rewards in place for each member that follows the expectations set by the program. The members enjoy gatherings at the bowling alley, skating rink, movie theatres, etc. as a result of good behavior and good character. All of these, of course, is predicated on the progress and growth of the club members. Queens’ Being also has several events that are planned each year for the girls:

LYS Kickoff
A jump start to the year where our members and families come together to celebrate a new year of service and mentorship.

LYS Awards and Induction Ceremony
This is a recognition ceremony for the mentees who committed to the success of the program throughout the year with consistent participation at monthly sessions and community service projects and recognizing each child for their academic successes. After the applicants complete the required process, they will be recognized as an official “Queen”.

QB Retreat
This is a celebration of a completed year for all the girls who maintain participation throughout the year with monthly sessions & community service while maintaining responsibilities with home and school expectations.

Club Meetings
Every second Saturday during the Club Year (September - May) QB has its monthly Club Meetings. These meetings are times when the mentors and mentees come together for the purpose of learning special skills based on the theme and curriculum of the month. There is normally a Parent Advisory Council meeting that happens simultaneously.

Community Service Projects
Community Service is a big part of being a member of the QB. Our members have a yearly service requirement of 18 hours. These hours can be earned during group Community Service Projects or on an individual basis.

Outings
We aren't ALWAYS working! Sometimes, we get together for fun outings where our young men get to let loose and have a good time! These can include trips to the movies, parks, cookouts, or even trips.

Step 1: Fill out the Application
To begin the enrollment process for your child, please complete the candidate application. Once the application is completed, you will be contacted to set up a Candidate Interview.

Step 2:

Attend the Information Session during the LYS kickoff

Step 3: Induction at the end of the semester; prospects who complete the
requirements will participate in the LYS Induction Ceremony. During this ceremony, the prospect will be introduced as an official “Queen,” where they will receive their club regalia (Tiara and QB polo shirt) and recite the Queens’ Being Creed with fellow inductees. After the induction, they also qualify for the retreat and LYS Awards.

Is my child guaranteed to be accepted as an applicant?

No. Each child is subject to rejection from the program if the child isn't willing to participate in the program actively. There is a cap on the number of applicants we can accept; therefore, we must ensure that the accepted applicants take the program seriously.
