About Us
Description
The Decorum Group, Inc. is a personal training and development organization providing workshops, community activities and field trips
designed to address the social development needs of children ages 6 - 19. Our organization addresses the needs surrounding etiquette,
social skills, mentorship and leadership development.
Vision
To be the most trusted authority providing personal training and development for children in the state of Georgia by 2013.
Purpose
The Decorum Group was created to provide meaningful programs to empower, inspire, equip and enhance the skills of participants
enabling them to maximize their abilities to communicate effectively, work well with others, make sound decisions and solve social
problems in a win-win manner. Additionally, we instruct on the proper protocol to behave appropriately in various settings such as
school, business and social environments. Research has shown that when these types of skills are developed, it increases an individuals’
ability to excel academically, achieve success and creates strong, ethical leaders who enjoy enriched lives and solid relationships.
Mission Statement
To promote academic achievement, self-esteem and appropriate social conduct as well as personal development plans for at-risk
children, and teens, residing at home or in foster care. As our programs work to develop first-class, first impressions, we will also foster
confidence building with the intention of developing leaders for our community. We will do this by providing the knowledge, skills, tools
and resources to transition our children into adulthood with the options available to make informed, caring and meaningful choices that
will create and sustain a stable and independent lifestyle. By providing this etiquette, personal development, leadership and mentoring
programs we hope to alleviate some of the ills facing our society such as teen pregnancy, juvenile delinquency, low academic
achievement levels, unemployment and homelessness.
Philosophy
We believe that it is through knowledge that opportunities are created. We want to present the social skills, personal development and
leadership training that are often acquired outside the classroom. We believe that lack of protocol and leadership skills often creates
barriers to personal achievement. We intent to provide a medium that fills the gap of knowledge between text books and success. By
providing the tools and techniques required to transition into adulthood, our children will be empowered to take advantage of
opportunities availed to those whose thought processes and choices support a future that includes a high quality of life.
