MENTORING PROGRAMME

Our Young Queen's program is a fortnightly peer-mentoring programme run in Auckland High Schools for young women based at The Palace Dance Studio. The program is delivered using creative arts such as spoken word, dance and art which will help them to explore their talents and discovering their worth to empower them to use their voice and chase their dreams. 

The Young Queen's programme will help to build their confidence, teach life skills, expose our young women to new experiences and new role-models as well as support from older peer-mentors within their own school.  

So how does it work?

At the end of the year, we hold a showcase where the young women are able to share what they have learned.

Our young women have then completed the YQ Mentoring Programme and are better equipped with the confidence, knowledge and skills to be their true selves and follow their dreams!

Our Young Queens Mentoring Program is based at The Palace Dance Studio in Penrose, Auckland, which is owned by our very own Parris Goebel. This is the home of Hip Hop World Champions and the perfect place for our young women to be free to learn and express themselves out of a school environment.
