​

We Are HER is a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering girls, young women, and mothers by combining mentorship with practical education in culinary skills, life skills, and leadership.

 

Our mission is to amplify the voices of young women and girls, giving them the confidence to be leaders in their communities and advocates for themselves and others.

​

Our educational component centers on hands-on culinary training and life skills workshops. Through programs like Queens in Training and our Youth Summer Culinary Camps, participants learn essential cooking techniques, meal planning, and food safety. These skills foster food sustainability by teaching young people the value of preparing nutritious, budget-friendly meals and reducing food waste.

 

In addition to culinary education, we provide lessons in financial literacy, communication, and personal growth, which help participants build a foundation for independence and self-sufficiency.

​

For the community, We aRe HER hosts monthly outreach initiatives and events that support family engagement, and connect individuals to local resources.
