SMILE is more than a cute acronym to encourage you to bend the corners of your mouth upwards; it is a statement of truth for many people. Significant Moments Impact Lives Eternally, and that impact is experienced daily...for what can feel like an eternity.

SMILE Project Empowers, Inc. is a 501(c)3 organization that believes education and connection with others are necessary to strengthen individuals and build communities. Through theme-specific programming, we enrich the lives of participants in ways that are reflective of their areas of need.

Each session features a thoughtfully curated experience that combines practical etiquette instruction with connection and fun. Participants will enjoy a themed etiquette workshop, a guided brunch experience, and an interactive activity that brings each lesson to life.
