Quince Project

On behalf of The Quince Project planning team, we would like to invite you to support our worthwhile summer leadership program aimed at providing young Latinas with the tools they need to succeed as young adult leaders within their own community. “The Quince Project” is a summer leadership program geared towards helping teen girls make the transition from girlhood to young adult through a quinceañera celebration. The 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. Participants will foster cultural pride, build life skills, develop a strong voice, pursue higher education and discover creative ways to express themselves. Young women will be chosen based on their leadership, volunteer and academic experience.

The Quince Project is a grassroots group aimed at helping girls who cannot afford to have a quinceañera.
All donations can make a difference in helping offset the costs of hosting this important coming of age celebration. We are also in need of in-kind donations of food, decorations, party venue, quince dresses and traditional quince items. We are also seeking professional services of photography, videography, catering, makeup, hairstyling, musical entertainment and cake baking. We are also hosting a quince dress donation drive.
