The Miss Missouri Teen Volunteer pageant is more than just a beauty pageant. It is part of the Miss Teen Volunteer America Pageant, which provides scholarship money to contestants.  In addition to the scholarships, the program offers teens across Missouri the opportunity to enhance their communication skills, interact with the community and develop skills that will empower them for the rest of their life. 

As Miss Missouri Teen Volunteer, she will represent the state of Missouri as an ambassador. She will meet many exciting people across the state and must be comfortable in diverse backgrounds. These experiences will enrich her life and allow her to make an impact in the lives of many Missourians during her year of service.
