About
About The Princess Shop.
The Princess Shop Mentorship and Female Youth Development Inc. is a nonprofit organization established in 2007 and based in Saskatoon, serving the province of Saskatchewan. The Princess Shop creates an enhanced graduation experience for female students in need, and provides them with mentorship, support, and the tools to pursue success after graduation. Princess Graduates have the opportunity to be lent a graduation dress, accessories, shoes, etc. donated by members of our community. Princess Graduates in Saskatoon also have access to services such as makeup, hair, photos, and limousine services.
Since its inception, The Princess Shop has expanded to also include a mentorship program and scholarship program. By offering these opportunities and resources for Princess Graduates, The Princess Shop hopes to increase the chance of a bright future for all Princesses.
As founders, we wanted to make a positive contribution to the community in an unconventional and innovative way. As young women, we understand what an important milestone high school graduation can, and should, be. This is a very special day for young women as they move on to the next phase of their lives and we believe that every young woman should have an opportunity to feel beautiful. It is our dream be a part of instilling self-confidence, drive and motivation in our province’s future leaders. Saskatchewan has already given us so many opportunities. We now want to give back to our community.

Idea.
While the general concept of providing affordable graduation necessities is a model used widely throughout Canada and the United States, co-founders Chantal Moloney and Ainsley Robertson felt that with a few adjustments, the project could be especially fitting for the city of Saskatoon. They quickly found that young women all over the country were interested in the idea – both as volunteers and as applicants.
