Miss Oregon's Shining Stars Program Registration

Miss Oregon’s Shining Stars
Miss Oregon’s Shining Stars is a mentorship program for children ages 5 to 12. It gives participants the chance to step into the excitement of Miss Oregon and the Miss America Opportunity before they reach competition age.

This program is all about confidence, connection, and fun. Participants build stage presence, poise, and friendship skills in a supportive environment. Each child is paired with a local titleholder, creating a meaningful mentorship and a week they won’t forget.

Registration closes May 15. The registration fee is $300.
