PROGRAM OVERVIEW

The main pillars at the center of the program’s framework are:

  • Self-Confidence (Empowerment & Leadership): Building self-esteem, goal setting, and mentorship.  

    Good Manners & Etiquette: Teaching proper greetings, public manners, and phone etiquette.  

    Dining & Social Skills (Life Skills): Covering table etiquette, resume and letter writing, and creative or outdoor workshops.

The Debutantes (girls) and Beaus (boys) are chosen based on the following criteria:

  1. Achieve and maintain a C or higher academic standing
  2. Maintain a good standing membership
  3. Being involved in the community
  4. Demonstrate outstanding character, leadership, dependability.
  5. Being a service in school and/or the community.

Mentors (or the Debs / Beau's ages 16-18) are assigned to work with the Debutantes and Beaus ages 8-13 and are required to present before them an exemplary mannerism. Sessions in etiquette, business professionalism, finances, and human relationships are addressed during the Debutante’s seven months of training. The end of their training culminates with a formal graduation ceremony of three different categories by age groups.

All Groups must wear uniforms when attending workshops, fundraisers, and coummunity involvement. Each workshop is broken up by age groups. The younger ages are what's considered Future Debs / Beau's which is our PRE-COTILLION PROGRAM Ages 6-7
