Story and Mission
As a very small staff of four managing over 300 state and local programs , we depend on our volunteer base of over 10,000 nationwide to be our hands and feet to give every girl in our country the opportunity Above : National Finals 2022 to experience this life-changing event . Young women participate in local and state programs , being judged along the way in the areas of talent , self-expression , scholastics , interview and fitness . Through sponsorships , over $ 2 Million in cash scholarships is awarded to participants at all levels of the program and over $ 1 Billion in college-granted scholarships is made available to participants . In the summer following their senior year , those selected as state representatives participate in a celebratory showcase where they vie for over $ 150,000 in cash scholarships as well as the opportunity to represent their peers as the Distinguished Young Woman of America . Volunteers work alongside the staff to ensure this experience is meaningful for each young woman participating . Our organization continues to seek sponsors and local volunteers to assist with the twoweek experience in Mobile , Alabama , during which these young women participate in events that model community spirit and engages them in activities to impact the world for good .

Story and Mission
Dog River and its creeks and streams drain most of Mobile , Alabama and serve as important places for families to play and fish . The river is directly affected by the land surrounding it or its " watershed ".
In the case of Dog River , the watershed is 95 square miles wide and urbanized . You probably live in the Dog River Watershed since it drains most of the City of Mobile and some of Mobile County .
Sediment , litter , and sewage are Dog River ’ s biggest threats , which is the primary focus of Dog River Clearwater Revival ( DRCR ). DRCR is a grassroots 501 ( c )( 3 ) nonprofit organization that has been working for over 25 years to create an environment where everyone can work and play in a clean , safe , and accessible Dog River Watershed . DRCR has made significant strides in litter mitigation , improving water quality , educating , and connecting people to Dog River .
