Respect for ourselves guides our morals, respect for others guides our manners.

Laurence Sterne


With the renaissance of traditional values, a renewed expectation of good manners and respectful behavior from today’s youth has unfolded. Young adults with a solid etiquette foundation will feel more confident and self-assured in the classroom, at a school dance, and on the playground. These children of today will be equipped will the life tools to become our leaders of tomorrow.

The Allen Protocol and Leadership Institute has developed several fun and informative programs with today’s youth in mind. Role-playing exercises, along with age-appropriate materials and workbooks, create an invaluable experience for children age eight and older.
