Jadyn Talley of Forest is participating in the 65th Distinguished Young Women National Finals this month in Mobile, AL.
Talley is one of 50 representatives competing for over $150,000 in cash scholarships and the opportunity to represent the program as the Distinguished Young Woman of America for 2022.
Following her selection as the Distinguished Young Woman of Virginia, Talley began preparations for the National Finals competition, which will include five categories of evaluation: scholastics, interview, fitness, talent and self-expression.
The program’s overall winner will spend the next year representing Distinguished Young Women across the country through various appearances and promoting the program’s national outreach initiative of Be Your Best Self.
The outreach program is designed to combat major issues facing children today including childhood obesity and high school drop out rates, as well as encourage young people to take an active interest in their communities through service.
Talley is a 2022 graduate of Brookville High School and the daughter of Dawn and Robert Talley.
