“The conference was an overwhelming success and you played a key role in making it happen. Your session was interactive and informative...You provided our teens with great lessons on how to handle themselves appropriately in different social settings, as well as the extra edge of social skills needed in the 'real world'."

The Mannerly Manners® youth course is the foundation of our program. We teach the basics of everyday manners and social etiquette, from introductions to table manners to how to write a thank you note; everything a young person needs to know to become confident in any social situation.

This course is presently featured as a part of Community Education programs throughout the Twin Cities area. We have classes available for school-release days, summer camps, workshops, Park and Recreation Facilities, independent organizations, home-school programs, scout troops or other community groups.
