About Us

The Miss Spokane’s Outstanding Teen Organization has been established to encourage positive achievement by helping to nurture and build the scholastic achievement, creative accomplishment, healthy living and community involvement of our youth.
 
Among its initiatives, the Miss Spokane’s Outstanding Teen will host a competition intended to encourage and reward the talent, communication skills, community service, and academic achievement of girls. 

The Miss Spokane’s Outstanding Teen will also establish community-based initiatives and mentoring programs aimed at helping our city'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 competition, the Organization will 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-base initiatives will be available to all young people (male and female) between the ages of 13 and 17.

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

The Miss Spokane’s Outstanding Teen anticipates awarding scholarships to individuals on the basis of academic merit and civic and social achievement. Scholarships will be awarded without condition or obligation to provide future services.
