About Us
The Miss Louisa Organization is a nonprofit organization that believes in the mission and values of the Miss America Organization (MAO). Through partnerships with generous sponsors and scholarship donors, our goal is to provide young women with opportunities to grow, lead, and achieve their dreams. We are committed to personal development, supporting higher education, and encouraging participants to become fearless advocates for causes that inspire them while making a difference in their communities.
Beginning in 2024, the Miss Louisa Organization will host a competition to crown exceptional “Miss” and “Teen” titleholders who will proudly represent Louisa County and Hanover County as Miss Louisa County, Miss Louisa County's Teen, Miss Hanover County and Miss Hanover County's Teen at the Miss Virginia and Miss Virginia’s Outstanding Teen Competitions. Our organization provides unwavering support to our titleholders, assisting them in developing their public speaking, community service initiatives, and competition preparation. We are proud to help them build the skills and confidence needed to excel at the state level and beyond.
As a proud member of the Miss Virginia/Miss America family, the Miss Louisa Organization is committed to empowering young women to lead with purpose. The MAO is one of the nation’s largest providers of scholarships for young women, especially those pursuing education in S.T.E.M. (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics). Beyond scholarships, the Miss America program emphasizes the importance of community involvement, service, and using one’s voice to bring awareness to critical social issues. Through this program, we strive to inspire the next generation of leaders to embody intelligence, talent, confidence, and compassion.
