New Life Cotillion develops confident, prepared, service-minded young people while strengthening family and community legacy.
Our work reaches beyond formal etiquette. Participants learn how to carry themselves, communicate, serve, lead, honor their heritage, plan for their future, and engage the world with confidence and respect.
The annual journey includes workshops, worship, formal dining, arts and cultural experiences, community service, college and career exposure, civic learning, and signature social experiences.
