About Director

We are Charles Winters II and Jenna Winters! We have a passion for teaching manners and etiquette which was inspired by Charles Winters II parents, Charles and Anne Winters, who founded the National League of Junior Cotillions in 1989. NLJC is a nationwide program which teaches young people confidence, courtesy, and social skills essential for success.

We work closely to honor and carry on Anne’s legacy through tradition, emphasizing kindness, character, and social education. We are thrilled to teach modern manners and everyday etiquette to create a positive influence on your life and family.

**We are excited to continue the program and honor the legacy of past Director of 28 years, Mary Kennerty, a native of Charleston, South Carolina. Over 8,000 parents enrolled their children in Kennerty's NLJC Junior Cotillion progam throughtout Charleston, Summerville, and Beaufort.**
