My Project

Hi!

Ladies Of Excellence teaches young ladies, 4th and 5th grades, to embrace life, gain confidence, display etiquette, and how to become more phenomenal than what they were the previous day.

This organization aims to raise aspirations for 4th and 5th-grade girls of Baldwin to achieve their goals, gain confidence within themselves, and demonstrate leadership both inside and outside of Baldwin. These young ladies will learn etiquette, social grace, and preparedness skills for the real world and participate in service projects.

As this is my first year starting this organization, I would like to provide sources to these young ladies of tomorrow to promote mental health, how to succeed academically, and how they can serve in the community. The materials requested will help achieve their personal and academic goals, and how to become successful in life.
