Quince Project - Madrinas Wanted to Make Quince Dreams Come True

The Quince Project Madrinas team is a group of local female leaders dedicated to helping make girls' quince dreams come true. Our team organizes a charity Quinceañera for local girls who would not be able to afford it otherwise.The mission of Quince Project is to provide young Latinas with the tools they need to succeed as young adults. Our objective is to encourage young Latinas to become leaders in their communities, to foster cultural pride, to pursue higher education, to build life skills, to discover creative ways to express themselves and to develop a strong voice. The Quince Project helps make quince dreams come true by hosting a summer leadership program geared toward helping teen girls make the transition from girlhood to young adult through a quinceañera celebration. Young women are invited to apply to this free program which will culminate with a group quince party. Girls will learn about their heritage and the cultural significance of a quinceañera as they work in small teams to develop leadership skills and organize a group quince. This team helps with leadership workshops, mentoring youth, contributing to fundraising efforts and aiding with quince event planning. To volunteer, contact us at quinceproject@yahoo.com.
