Queens In Training
Queens in Training is a leadership and life skills program designed to empower young girls through mentorship, culinary education, and community engagement. As part of We Are Her, this program nurtures confidence, character, and resilience while equipping participants with practical skills for personal and professional success.
Divided into four age groups- Tiny Treasures (5-6), Crystals (7-9), Little Gems (10-12), and Rare Jewels (13+)—Queens in Training provides a safe, engaging space where girls learn essential life skills, including financial literacy, etiquette, and leadership. A core component of the program is culinary education, where participants explore cooking techniques, nutrition, and food sustainability, helping them develop self-sufficiency and an appreciation for healthy living.
Through hands-on workshops, community service projects, and real-world applications, participants gain the tools to navigate challenges, express themselves, and contribute meaningfully to their communities.
Queens in Training fosters a generation of responsible and empowered young leaders.
Our mission is to guide young girls in becoming confident, self-sufficient, and community-driven leaders—one meal, one lesson, and one conversation at a time.
As a member of Queens in Training, students are introduced to other programs within We aRe HER that provide additional opportunities for growth and learning:

Let Her Talk Podcast
This podcast is an opportunity for young girls and women to share their thoughts and opinions on important topics. Students have the chance to contribute, practice communication skills, and discuss meaningful issues important to them.
Tiny Treasures (Ages 5-6):
This name symbolizes the unique and precious nature of young girls at this tender age. Like treasures, they are valuable, rare, and full of potential waiting to be discovered. It emphasizes nurturing their self-worth, talents, and dreams while celebrating their individuality.
Crystals (Ages 7-9):
Crystals are young and developing, yet they sparkle with potential. In the 'Queens in Training' program, Crystals represent the beginning of leadership development, where young girls start to understand the basics of leadership, responsibility, and self-expression.
Little Gems (Ages 10-12):
Gems are formed under pressure, much like how leadership skills are honed through challenges. Little Gems are at a stage where they are refining their leadership abilities and beginning to shine more brightly as they take on new roles.
Rare Jewels (Ages 13-17):
Rare Jewels symbolize maturity, value, and strength. In the 'Queens in Training' program, Rare Jewels are seen as leaders in the making, prepared to take on larger responsibilities and inspire others.
