Distinguished Young Women
#SoMobile for 66 years!
Founded in 1958, Distinguished Young Women is a free program that encourages participants to reach their full individual potential. The program’s mission is to empower young women by providing more than $1 billion in scholarship opportunities, developing self-confidence in a positive peer environment and participating in Life Skills Workshops that prepare them for success after high school.
Each summer representatives from all 50 states descend on Mobile, the birthplace of the program, for National Finals and when they do, they get a full dose of Southern hospitality!
Find out more about the prestigious program by visiting DistinguishedYW.org or by calling 251-438-3621.
