I Am A Queen to Host 4th Annual Queens Period Project in Guilford and Rockingham Counties

I Am A Queen, a youth development nonprofit serving girls ages 10–18, will host its 4th Annual Queens Period Project, expanding this year to include both Guilford and Rockingham counties. This teen-led initiative combats the stigma of period poverty by donating essential feminine hygiene products to local schools.

The project is driven by teen leaders in the Queen Arise Leadership Program, who are committed to raising awareness about the impact of period poverty—a lack of access to menstrual products that can lead to stress, anxiety, depression, and missed school days for many girls.

This year’s volunteer packaging events will be held on the following dates and locations:
