About Us
Queens Academy works in partnership with schools and youth centers to educate, empower, and develop girls of color. The combination of mentorship, an empowering environment, and the usage of research-based programming allows girls to navigate barriers, and develop into tomorrow's leaders
Our Pillars
ENVISION: Every girl has the opportunity to create and activate their dreams through the power of Envisioning!
EMPOWER: Empowerment will help every girl to understand the importance of their worth, their education, and the world. When girls are empowered they have the skills, critical awareness and opportunities to positively impact their own lives and others.
EDUCATE: It is with the help of education that girls can choose and seek their interest. Education propels the youth in the right direction.
EVOLVE: Recognizing that we are constantly working to evolve ourselves is a major part of the journey and is critical to success. Evolving gives us the opportunity for growth.
