Thank you for your interest in having your daughter participate in our Miss Ohio "Hearts of Ohio" Youth Mentoring Program! This program is designed for girls, ages 5 to 13, who are looking to improve upon skills that promote self-confidence, poise, and learn about community service.
We know she will have a fun and exciting time during Miss Ohio Week with our Miss and Teen Contestants.
