Each Lilac candidate selected from her high school will participate in an eight-week program which supports character building and servant leadership, with a strengthened focus on community service, integrity, and teamwork.

The candidates will attend workshops in communication, personal and professional etiquette, resume development, time management, interview skills, military history, self-defense, and more. They also participate in several volunteer opportunities, that can include Habitat for Humanity, Valentine’s for Veterans, Second Harvest Food Bank, and others.
