famous Apollo Theater, I know the importance of proper training.

Regardless of your pageant experience or (lack of), through exciting preparatory motivational, educational and fun workshops, you will be thoroughly prepared to travel throughout life putting your best self forward.
A quote from an Arkansas Democrat Gazette article said it best, "Miss Teen Promise teaches girls to take pride in themselves. It is open to girls in need of leadership, etiquette training, and scholarship money; no previous competition experience is necessary."
Miss Teen Promise serves one year and participates in an exciting public relations tour. In addition, a total prize package worth more than $5,000 is awarded. Since 1998, Teen Promise, Inc. a non-profit 501 ( c ) 3 organization has awarded more than $60,000 in scholarships and prizes.
I invite you to become a part of this unique and exciting program. Join me and other local, state and national queens, image and beauty consultants, community leaders and Teen Promise Senior Advisors as we assist you in making your move out of the shadows of promise into the spotlight of success.

| Dear Ms. Evangeline,
Thank you for your constant love and support. Due to the Teen Promise Preparatory program, I was able to use my poise, communication skills and confidence to become the 2007 Secretary of State of Arkansas Girls State. I am so excited to be sitting in my huge office right now with my two appointees. This is an amazing opportunity and it wouldn't have been possible without your spiritual and financial support.
Secretary of State,
Quersten McDonald
