Today we celebrate Juneteenth which commemorates the emancipation of enslaved African Americans. Juneteenth marks the anniversary of the announcement of General Order No. 3 by Union Army general Gordon Granger on June 19, 1865, proclaiming freedom for enslaved people in Texas.

This is the second year Juneteenth is being celebrated as a federal holiday.

Imagine Etiquette is building confidence in our youth, one child at a time. The organization provides after-school etiquette and life skill classes for children pre-k to 12th grade. The Virtual After-School Enrichment Program (VASE) is an online summer series, and the following four-week session will begin on August 5.

Imagine Etiquette’s founder Bernadette Fernandez created the program to help carry the lessons her mother and grandmother taught her to the next generation.
“Think about when you were a child and what if someone helped build your confidence. Do you think your life would be different?” asked Fernandez. “What if you had an opportunity to put your child in a position to teach them how to set goals and have the knowledge to accomplish them.” Would you do it?

As Fernandez likes to call it, “Etiquette for the 21st Century” is helping young people build their confidence. It seems that this was destined to be her plan. Her grandmother taught etiquette classes, and Fernandez always enjoyed it. Her mother is also a mentor, and when Fernandez was younger, her mother built her confidence at an early age. She wanted the same for her daughter and other young people.

“When my daughter turned ten years old, I wanted to teach her etiquette. The program is designed how I was raised,” said Fernandez. “Knowing your value and self-worth is key.”

Many of Fernandez students enjoy the course and some have even stayed with her in their early 20s. Click here to hear from past students and parents.
Over the years the program has seen impressive results within their students.
95% of students' academics and behavior improves within the first month of the program.
92% of students' self-esteem and self-value improves within the first 3-weeks of the program.
98% of students reenroll in the SEVA™ and VASE™ programs.
Since starting in 2014, Fernandez and Imagine Etiquette has expanded to seven different programs focused on covering topics including financial literacy, dating, careers, interviewing skills, confidence building, and public speaking. The original course, SEVA, is held in person, and Fernandez would often go into the schools for the course. However, due to the pandemic, Fernandez had to pivot the program and thus created VASE.

VASE has already held one session this summer, but it isn’t too late to enroll for the second session. Sessions are $25 a week for four weeks. All you need is your computer, they provide the rest. Let Imagine Etiquette get your child the confidence they need to be successful in life. Click here to read more about Imagine Etiquette.
