What’s something you wish someone had taught you before adulthood?How to create a budget? Understand credit? Apply for college or financial aid? Prepare for an interview? Know when to ask for help?Too many young people are expected to figure these things out after the consequences are already real.  Queen’s Academy was created to change that.Queen’s Academy is a free eight-session program for low-income and underserved girls ages 13–18 in Greater Houston. Approximately 90% of our most recent cohort were in foster care.Through hands-on learning and mentorship, girls build skills in money management, college and career planning, workforce readiness, emotional wellness, leadership, and practical preparation for adulthood. They create budgets and resumes, practice interviews, explore college and financial aid, learn from professionals, and develop a plan for what comes next. Access should not depend on what a family can afford or whether a girl has a reliable ride. Queen’s Academy is provided at no cost, and transportation assistance is available when needed. We are raising $5,000 to help prepare our next cohort of approximately 20 girls. Donations help provide program materials, meals and refreshments during three-hour sessions, college and workforce preparation, professional experts, participant resources, and hands-on experiences.Of the four graduating seniors Queen’s Academy has served to date, three enrolled in college and one entered employment. Give her more than advice. Give her a head start.Donate today, share this campaign, or tell someone about Queen’s Academy. Every action helps us reach another girl.
