Learn How to Compete!
Miss Mississippi's Teen Organization was organized to encourage positive achievements by helping to nurture and build the scholastic achievement, creative accomplishment, healthy living and community involvement of our state’s youth.
Among its initiatives, the Miss Mississippi's Teen Organization hosts a state competition intended to encourage and reward the talent, communication skills, community service and academic achievement of girls between 13 and 18 years of age.
The Miss Mississippi's Teen Organization has also established community-based initiatives and mentoring programs aimed at helping our state’s youth build character and gain skills necessary for success in the real world.  In partnership with committed adult volunteers, community and business leaders, as well as participants from the state competition, the Organization continues to implement programs aimed at helping young people develop strong values, leadership skills, social conscience, self-worth and conviction about their own potential.
The Organization’s mentoring and community-based initiatives are available to all young people between the ages of 13 and 18.  The Miss Mississippi's Teen Organization awards scholarships to individuals on a basis of academic merit and civic and social achievement.  Scholarships are awarded without condition or obligation to provide future services.
