Young women participate in local programs during their JUNIOR year to qualify for our State program, which is then held during the fall of their SENIOR year. **Once you apply, you will be placed in one of 6 local programs based on your home address. If you do NOT have a local program in your geographic area, you will be placed in the Utah At-Large program. You must participate in the program to which you are assigned.
All of our programs for the Class of 2021 have been held.
**Applications for local programs for the Class of 2022 will be accepted starting in the fall of your JUNIOR year for springtime (March-June) programs. At-Large is generally held in June. All program dates are posted on local program sites as information becomes available, generally at the start of the new year. Please reach out with any questions. We are eager to help you discover what this program has to offer you!
