My daughter has worked with this same group of girls for years and the amount of charity/volunteer work that has been done is nothing short of awesome! They have made a huge difference in others lives that cannot be duplicated! This organization has everything needed to succeed, hard working, intelligent, innovative people!
I am very proud to be the director for the onstage competition of this program. It's been a pleasure to witness the development of our girls' amazing leadership skills. I am very excited to be part of their important journey going forward.
I am very proud to recognize this program as an outstanding opportunity for young woman to build confidence in themselves and their abilities to succeed in whatever goals they have set for themselves. They also can learn the importance of helping others (their neighbors in their own communities or the world wide community) to succeed in whatever way they can. Two of my granddaughters are participating in this program and have already made a great difference , one by providing help for other young women to go to school in Uganda , the other by providing chickens to a group who can now help sustain both a means to provide food and a way to profit from selling the chickens to help their community. This is a wonderful opportunity for other young women to learn and be of service to their community while helping themselves to expand their own opportunities in life.
Am the director of Hope for life community international, I really do appreciate the efforts of this organization as its doing a wonderful job of support girl education in Uganda through the provision of sanitary pads to school girls and also fighting poverty among households in Uganda through supporting economic generating projects such poultry farming.
My daughter is in the program and I`m satisfied because they make a very good job. Since my daughter collaborating with them they have motivated her to want to volunteer for the environment and she is closer environment.
I'm really proud of this program. I am a co-founder and board member. Two of my girls participate as non-competitive ambassadors so I can see the benefits first hand. Our nonprofit was started to provide unique and personalized service opportunities to young people and I think we have far exceeded the expectations of our participants and parents so far. As a mom of six myself, I really feel that community service is a key way to teach children about citizenship and a whole host of other issues. We are only a month old but we are very committed to building this program and at the moment it is run 100% by volunteers.
We call ourselves a competition, not a pageant, but we share elements with pageants, like our crowns and queen branding, to help the girls get attention for their missions. We are a great venue for girls interested in pageants to build confidence, publis speaking skills, and a portfolio for a pageant platform. For kids who would never do a pageant - no worries. We will evaluate you (and want you to learn to evaluate yourself) based on hard work, competence, and commitment. You can learn more about us at www.MissVolunteerService.com
One of my nieces is involved with this program. At first, I though it was just another beauty pageant. I was quickly corrected - It's a competition. Beyond the crowns and sashes, there is nothing about beauty here. It's all about planning a service campaign and then they compete based on hours served, funds raised, and how well they can speak about their mission and the organizations they partnered with. Really a neat idea!
My grandchildren are volunteering with this group. They are brand new, but doing a really good job motivating these kids to create their own long term service projects. I am really surprised by the development I have seen and can't wait to see how this program grows in its first year.
I am an ambassador for this program and my mom is on the board. I have been doing pageants, 4H, and other service projects for 3-4 years. My passion is sharing stories about sustainable agriculture and how small stock like chickens and goats can bring people out of extreme poverty. I usually went to schools with a few of my animals and talked about the ONE Vote campaign and Heifer International. Since we started Miss Volunteer Service International, I have been able to make a real difference for people. I created a Poultry project to provide eating eggs for orphans at Real Care Ministries in Uganda and I am able to stay in touch with them and help to build and support the project long term. Most people my age don't get to create and direct their own projects this way.
I'm so excited to see an organization that inspires youth to serve, but also teaches them the skills needed to do so. Too many people are paralyzed with the fear that they won't be able to solve every problem. Miss Volunteer Service International helps recognize those with the desire to do good in the world and the ability to turn it into action!
My sisters participate in this program and my mom is on the board. They are doing a great job helping people all over the world through projects that are really unique. A great way for young women to build a portfolio of community service.
I have been astonished to see the work these ladies have done in such a short period of time. This nonprofit is a startup with a mission to provide meaningful service opportunities to youth. I have seen kids raise money to provide chickens to an orphanage in Uganda and volunteer serving first responders for 9/11. If this is what they are doing in the first month, I can't wait to see what they have accomplished by next year!
