This organization is run entirely by volunteers. Some of our team dedicate a few days during State Week and others donate hours a day, every day, year round. Whatever your availability, if you believe in higher education, women’s empowerment, and community stewardship, then you have found the right place to spend your free time. If you think this is a good fit, take a look through the volunteer opportunities below.

State Volunteers

The Miss New York Scholarship Competition needs volunteers for year-round and State-Week positions. We are looking for people with experience or familiarity with the Miss America Organization who are able to work both behind the scenes and in the public eye. Many of the State-Week roles (lobby assistance, chaperone, etc) do not require years of experience with the organization – only a familiarity with the program and a compassionate approach to working with others.

Local Volunteers

We are always searching for local leaders who see the benefits of this organization and the potential in young women in their area. Local Directors hold their own local competition and crown winners to represent their communities at the State Competition. If you would like to start your own local, learn more an apply for a franchise.

Judge’s Panel

Our local programs need qualified panelists to select the representatives for their respective programs. If you believe you have a discerning eye for talent, intelligence, and community activism then volunteer to judge one of our competitions. Panelists for a local organization must not be affiliated with a local New York delegate or New York Local organization in any way.
