Tara Darby Rasheta (Miss AL USA '04) and Cristina Nardozzi Buehrer (Miss MA USA '05) both serve as chairwomen for local cotillion programs in their hometowns. As former titleholders, they have found this opportunity to be another way to give back to their communities. They are passionate about helping students become confident communicators.
For over 70 years, JDW Cotillions has been recognized as the authority in social skills education. JDWC partners with Chairs nationwide to host programs that focus on respect, kindness, courtesy, empathy, and consideration for children and adolescents.
Cotillion is about teaching children kindness, courtesy, and respect in a healthy, structured environment. JDW Cotillions has instructed more than 350,000 students in the art of communication skills, codes of conduct, and social dance. When polling parents, 98% say after Cotillion their child is more courteous, considerate, and respectful of others. 96% of the students who participated feel more confident in meeting new people. Imagine the positive ripple effect this could have in your community!
The success of JDW Cotillions is a direct result of a strong local presence. Our Chairs contribute greatly to our programs by spreading the word within their community and becoming our community liaison. JDWC Chairs help us identify a great location for classes, determine which grades should be served (between 3rd-8th grades), and coordinate with parent ambassadors (known as Committee Members) from key schools, to help us invite more students. In turn, our Chairs receive a financial incentive for their work and participation.
JDW Cotillions currently directs 50+ programs nationwide. When establishing a new program JDW Cotillions reserves and pays for the facility, processes student registrations and payments, and brings in certified instructors to teach the curriculum. There is no cost to our Chairs. Becoming a JDWC Chair provides a program for children and adolescents that builds a foundation of social awareness and is appreciated by parents, students, teachers, and communities.
For over 7 decades we have maintained one objective – to continually improve and update the social skills education for our student population. Our Company believes that social skills represent an essential part of an individual's education and play an integral role in establishing and nurturing relationships — which is the foundation for achieving success.
95% of JDWC students believe the JDW Cotillions gave them more confidence in social and unfamiliar situations.
98% of JDWC Parents say after JDW Cotillions their child is more courteous, considerate, and respectful of others.
From East to West & North to South, our students are learning valuable life skills that will positively affect their ability to succeed throughout their lives.
Our ability to bring social skills education to over 50 different communities is a direct representation of our Chairs' dedication and work. Many of our programs are celebrating decades of growth and enrichment in student's lives. We know our Chairs are an integral part of our success, and look forward to partnering with new people in new communities!
