Queens with goals, Inc. Mentoring program
The Art of Queenin!
Queens With Goals (QWG) is an empowering and mentoring organization created to help young women launch into adulthood. Our primary focus is to enrich the lives of young women of color by working on personal development, financial education, public service and cultural exploration.
We offer a two-year mentor cohort to teach young women of color how to resolve issues of self-worth. We reinforce they need not objectify themselves or surrender their independence. Our goal is to bring out the need for a positive self-image and a strong sense of awareness as they navigate adulting. Ultimately, our efforts will lead to them excelling personally, academically and professionally, while building their self-esteem and independence.
Personal Developmental
Adulting starts here! Our mentors work 1x1 with our mentees to create Individualized personal development plans within the context of goal setting, education, career readiness, and health & wellness. Along the way, our other components enhance their journey. We take lemons and give them the recipe to make lemonade!
Financial Literacy
Educating our mentees on financial independence helps empower them. The demands of balancing bills, budgets, and a busy schedule can often be stressful. We help them develop action plans toward achieving their financial goals. These plans include starting a savings plan, developing credit worthiness, learning about wealth management and establishing a path to home purchasing.
Community Engagement
We are proud to see our community at its best and encourage all hands on deck to maximize community efforts and social engagement. Our mentors and mentees participate in volunteering opportunities to support localized efforts. This develops community relationships and mentee synergies.
Cultural Exploration
QWG exposes our mentees to explore diverse cultural activities by visiting museums, attending festivals, and special interest events. To experience other cultures abroad, accompanied by mentors, our mentees are invited to attend our annual retreat upon completion of our 2-year mentor cohort.
