Southern Hospitality & Etiquette was founded by a passion for empowering children and adults with invaluable life skills. I quickly became aware that I needed to be able to extend my reach to children who might not have the financial means to participate in traditional programs. To address this, we established a foundation that ensures valuable skills in confidence, manners and etiquette are available to all, regardless of financial situation. Through workshops, resources, community outreach, we strive to empower individuals with the confidence and knowledge they need to succeed in any social setting.

​

The Youth Etiquette Empowerment Project is an initiative designed to equip young people with the social, personal, and professional skills they need to thrive in today's climate. Grounded in the belief that etiquette is more than manners-it is confidence, respect, and self-awareness- the project empowers youth to navigate social interactions, academic environments, and future workplaces with poise and integrity.

​

Through practical training, mentorship and learning, the project fosters essential life skills such as effective communication, leadership, cultural awareness', and responsible digital behavior.  By nurturing character alongside competence, The Youth Etiquette Empowerment Project helps young individuals build strong self-esteem, for positive relationships, and become respectful, responsible contributors to their communities and beyond.

 

We focus on supporting public school children through in-school initiatives and community centers, as well as assisting adults transitioning back into the workforce after experiencing homelessness and addiction.  Our curriculum covers:

​
