Each year, the Miss America’s Outstanding Teen Organization hosts a national competition that encourages and rewards the talent, communication skills, community service, and academic achievements of girls between 13 and 17 years of age.

The Miss America’s Outstanding Teen Organization has also established community-based initiatives and mentoring programs aimed at helping our nation’s youth build character and gain the skills necessary for success in the real world. In partnership with committed adult volunteers, community and business leaders, as well as participants from the national competition, the Organization has been implementing programs aimed at helping young people develop strong values, leadership skills, social conscience, self worth and conviction about their own potential.



Funds raised by the Organization are being used to fund scholarships for deserving young women according to guidelines established by the Organization’s Board of Directors in accordance with Internal Revenue Service rules and regulations. Funds are also being used to establish and develop the Organization’s mentoring program and community-based initiatives.

On August 20th, 2011 the city of Orlando, FL will again host 53 of America’s best and brightest female teenagers as they disembark upon the City Beautiful Orange County Convention Center and Rosen Center Hotel for the Annual Miss America Outstanding Teen Competition.
