Local nonprofit Ps and Qs outlines youth leadership program, Feb. 28 event at Rourke Museum
Summary
Rachel Stone presented on Ps and Qs Etiquette, a nonprofit serving girls in the Fargo‑Moorhead area; she described a curriculum for middle/high‑school students, community service projects and a public wax‑museum event Feb. 28 at the Rourke Museum.
Rachel Stone, founder of the nonprofit Ps and Qs Etiquette, described the group’s youth leadership programs at the Moorhead Human Rights Commission meeting on Feb. 19 and invited the community to a free public event at the Rourke Museum.
Stone said Ps and Qs targets middle‑ and high‑school girls in the Fargo‑Moorhead region with a curriculum called Leaderlicious that focuses on self‑identity, skills training and community engagement. “Our goal is really to develop them into effective leaders by providing hands‑on and skill‑based youth informed programs,” Stone said.
Stone listed partner schools and program sites including Horizon Middle School and Discovery and said participants are encouraged to give back through volunteer projects, fundraisers and community events. An assistant identified as Cassie spoke about a Wax Museum project for Black History Month; Stone said the event is scheduled for Feb. 28 at 6:30 p.m. at the Rourke Museum.
Stone described other program elements: mentorship from college students, a social‑media channel called Be Rare Be You, and an annual role‑modeling show for eighth graders. The organization serves students from multiple communities, Stone said, and promotes cultural celebration and entrepreneurship as part of leadership development.
Commissioners thanked Stone for her work and for the program’s community offerings. The presentation was informational; no commission action or funding decisions were taken at the meeting.
