"You volunteer because of the incredible
impact
these young women have on your life! They are
the future of our country,
and it is more than
rewarding to see them develop not only as contestants,
but as women, students and leaders.
It is more exciting than you can
imagine to watch
the metamorphosis that occurs over the course
of their
participation, and to know that you played some small part in that
process."

We Are Looking for You
The Miss America Program
Like most Americans, you've probably seen the Miss America
competition televised
live annually from Atlantic City, NJ. What you
probably haven't seen is what's
going on behind the scenes of the show,
thanks to hundreds of thousands of
volunteers throughout the country.
The nationally televised Miss America competition is just one very
small part of
a nationwide, community service network that operates
12 months a year in every
state and more than a thousand cities and
towns across the country. On an annual
basis, Miss America state
and local titleholders, along with the Organization's
network of
volunteers, participate in more than 12,000 community service
projects, providing in excess of 500,000 service hours to worthy causes.
The Miss America Organization is one of the nation's leading
achievement
programs and the world's largest provider of scholarship
assistance for young
women. Each year, the Miss America Organization
makes available more than $41
million in cash and tuition scholarship
assistance. The program exists to give
young women a vehicle to
further their personal and professional goals, while
providing a forum
in which they can express their talents, intelligence and
opinions
on culture, politics and the community.
Local and state Miss America programs - more than a thousand of t
hem, in fact -
are all part of the vast Miss America network. The
volunteers who run these
programs do much more than put on an
annual competition. They provide
scholarships that help finance
the education of thousands of young women every
year. They create
opportunities for young women's voices to be heard across the
nation on important social issues. And they help young women gain
the personal
and professional skills they need to succeed in life.
Who Are Our Volunteers?
The volunteers who become involved are just like you. They come
from all walks
of life, every generation and represent all professions
and academic
disciplines.
Those who become volunteers tend to stay involved because they're
making a
difference and having a great time along the way. The
Miss America Organization
offers volunteers a unique opportunity
to integrate their diverse backgrounds
and interests to make valuable
contributions to their communities, empower young
women, form
lifelong friendships, further their own business objectives and
dabble in the glitz and glamour of show business.
