About Us
Princess Pals is an organization that allows students to dress up as well-known storybook characters, most notably princesses, and volunteer through community-building interactions with families and children at hospitals, elementary schools, shelters, and apartment housing in Davis and Yolo County. Our goal is to raise the spirits of children and the local community while providing an opportunity for students to have fun portraying a character.
Every quarter, Princess Pals appears at several community events and hosts bi-weekly general meetings. Through visits and club meetings where we focus on character acting and guiding members on how to interact with the community, members develop public speaking skills, such as communicating with a younger audience, and approaching special circumstances with care and mindfulness. Members also strengthen their improvisation skills and character acting. Additionally, Princess Pals’ board positions also offers students exposure to the technical aspect of running a student organization, and an opportunity to practice leadership and operations management. Club officers coordinate large-scale events, plan out logistics, manage finances, and orchestrate fundraisers every quarter. Our organization also emphasizes a space for college students to relax and bring a little whimsy into their lives, and we strive to create a welcoming and inclusive environment for all members.
