Miss Volunteer America

Miss Volunteer America is a nationwide, service-oriented scholarship program based in Tennessee that seeks to empower young women across the country through educational scholarships and extraordinary opportunities.

Each of the 5 points on the crown represent a principle in our organization’s mission. Together, the first letter of each of those five principles spells: S. E. R. V. E. Scholarship. Education. Responsibility. Volunteerism. Empowerment.

Young women participating in Miss Volunteer America will compete in a 12-minute private interview, talent, fitness and wellness, evening gown, and top 5 on-stage question.
