"A Gift That Lasts For a Lifetime"

Program Description

Steppin Out Charm & Imaging Studio’s etiquette curriculum for youth/teens is a six-week training program totaling 18 training hours that focuses on self-improvement activities. Learning takes place in interactive workshop settings where youth/teens feel safe and comfortable. In this kind of setting the youth/teens are active participants in all of the learning activities and strategies.

Upon program completion, the youth/teens will have a graduation luncheon. Certificates will be given at that time. This offers the students on opportunity to demonstrate all their learnings in a real life experience, plus model what they have learned about appropriate attire for special events. Also, the youth/teens will be encouraged to invite their family and friends.

Program Implementation

The program methodology used includes demonstration, discussion, role playing, and minimal lecturing. As these youth/teens are engaged in the learning experience, they will learn the power and importance of good manners, the basics of poise and posture, and voice techniques that create positive and pleasant conversations with others. They will learn how to look their best, make a good impression, how to become confident and the necessity of having a good positive attitude and how to be your own best friend.

Each week the youth/teens will reinforce their previous learning’s through practice so that they will feel comfortable in using the new techniques and behaviors in their everyday lives. The youth/teens will be using Robin Thompson’s book, Be The Best You Can Be as a text. This is a workbook that can be used as a resource after completing the course. In addition, students will receive handouts and worksheets to introduce or reinforce the learning activities.
