MLLESAlumnae

The Mademoiselle Service & Social Club was founded in 1960 on the campus of Booker T. Washington High School and the High School for the Engineering Professions in Houston, Tex. by Mlle. Patsy Meeks, an English teacher. The Club was founded on the principles of promoting finer young womanhood and uplifting the community.

The Mademoiselles Alumnae, Inc. is a 501 (c)(3) charity formed in 2004 by Mlles. Shannan E. Johnson and Brandii R. Mayes that provides programming, service projects and scholarships to more than 250 young women of color on 13 high school campuses in Houston, TX. The largest of these programs is the Annual Mademoiselle Conference with workshops covering health, higher education, social and life skills.

Our vision is to positively impact the lives of teenage girls through:
Building self esteem
Preparing for the future (educationally, personally and professionally)
Proing service to the community
Being positive examples and mentors
