Building leaders of character. Developing young women of excellence.
Our Mission

Three program areas that build leaders, create experiences, and drive lasting impact.
Queens Who Give Back
Our young women aren't waiting to change the world — they're already doing it. Through mentorship, advocacy, and community service, QueenShipp participants lead with purpose inside and outside the classroom.
Empowerment Through Experiences
QueenShipp is about action. We believe that confidence comes from experience. Through hands-on activities and real-world connections, our students develop the skills and relationships that prepare them for success.
Impact That Lasts
We invest in youth for lasting impact. By providing guidance, mentorship, and support, QueenShipp helps young women develop the character, skills, and confidence they need to succeed in life.
Our Impact
“Report an increased sense of belonging after participating in QueenShipp.”
“Would recommend QueenShipp to a friend.”
“Our young women aren't waiting to change the world — they're already doing it. When young women know who they are, everyone around them feels it.”
