From their web site:

The Cherry Blossom Program is an Education and Cultural Exchange Program is a week-long opportunity for young women from across the U.S. and around the world to come together and network. Since 1948, state and territorial societies, as well as the international embassy community, have selected accomplished young women between the ages of 21 and 26 for their academic achievement, exceptional poise and appearance, excellent interpersonal communication skills, leadership, interest in social, civic, community and world affairs with a strong desire to serve others through community service, maturity and responsibility and to:

​

• Represent the National Conference of State Societies and their State Society or Country by actively supporting these organizations’ mission, values, and goals.

• Serve by attending and actively participating in NCSS and Cherry Blossom Program community outreach initiatives as well as by serving at required events and social functions.

• Learn by taking advantage of opportunities for broadening personal development, volunteerism, and community involvement.

• Have fun and make new friends through festival volunteerism – one of the most rewarding and enjoyable aspects of participation in the NCSS Cherry Blossom program.
