Women In Community Action, Inc. (WICA) proudly presents our 2026 Debutante Ball program. We cordially invite young ladies in grades 11th and 12th to participate in our 27th Debutante Program, scheduled to begin in September 2025, and end with the Debutante Ball on March 28, 2026. The goal of the Debutante Ball is to enhance educational, cultural and social development through social activities, workshops, field trips and community service events.
While participating in the program, debutantes learn skills that are needed to be successful in the 21st century, create lasting friendships and learn the importance of service to others.
The program will culminate with a lavish Debutante Ball, during which Debutantes will be introduced individually and perform a group choreographed dance with their escorts. There will also be a father-daughter dance.
