The Heart of Our Programs
Building the Next Generation of Leaders
We believe leadership starts long before you have a title.
Our Granite Stars and Empowerment Camp programs give young women the opportunity to discover their strengths, build confidence, serve their communities, develop leadership skills, and form meaningful connections with mentors and peers.
Through the tradition and values of the Miss America and Miss New Hampshire programs, participants are introduced to a world where scholarship, service, leadership, and personal growth come together.
Our goal is to help every participant see herself as someone who can make a difference, whether that means leading in her school, serving her community, or one day stepping onto the Miss New Hampshire stage herself.
Leadership - Discovering how to lead with confidence, purpose, and compassion.
Mentorship - Connecting with positive role models who encourage, guide, and believe in her.
Sisterhood - Building friendships and a community of young women who lift one another up.
Service - Learning that leadership is about making a difference for others.
Opportunity - Exploring the Miss America and Miss New Hampshire organizations and the opportunities they can provide for scholarship, personal growth, service, and leadership.
Confidence - Finding her voice, embracing what makes her unique, and believing in what she can accomplish.
