High Tea Society

Based in Washington, DC, High Tea Society is a humanities organization that supports young women through storytelling, cultural exploration, and intergenerational dialogue. Its programs serve girls from disadvantaged backgrounds and are delivered in schools, homes, and digital spaces, as well as through in-person activities. Participants engage with real-life narratives, cultural texts, and community voices to build social and professional skills, make informed decisions, and understand the forces shaping their lives. Published biographies and cultural works are also part of its Fashion Intel series. Since 1997, the organization has worked with more than 800 young women in Washington, DC. Its four-part approach focuses on Exposure, Environment, Expectations, and Experiences, connecting community engagement and cultural awareness with academic achievement, personal growth, and global awareness.
