Bonners Ferry Distinguished Young Women Program seeking volunteers

November 15, 2015

The Committee of the Bonners Ferry Distinguished Young Women Program is looking for individuals interested in joining the committee to help with the upcoming year's program. Distinguished Young Women (formerly America's Junior Miss) is the oldest and largest scholarship program for high school girls in the nation; the Bonners Ferry program has been in existence for over fifty years. The program teaches life skills, interview skills, healthy living, group cooperation, and encourages excellence in scholastics. Last year our local program awarded over $15,000 in cash college scholarships—funded almost entirely by community donations. The Committee coordinates many different roles pertaining to all of the program’s judged categories—Fitness, Interview, Scholastics, Talent, and Self Expression—as well as scholarship collection, stage decoration, community service, and more. If you are interested in becoming a member of the committee or would like more information, please call Andrakay Pluid at 208-946-7598 or email bonnersferry@distinguishedyw.org.
