✨ What does it mean to be Miss Louisiana Volunteer?

More than a stage. More than a title.

She is the kind of young woman who makes everyone around her feel seen and valued. She leads with courage, serves with humility, and inspires with her actions. She carries her community in her heart and uses her voice to lift others higher.

This is the standard. This is the opportunity. This is what you’re stepping into when you say yes to Miss Louisiana Volunteer system. 💫

We still have a couple spots left in teen and ONE spot in our Miss division.

💖 The Avery Joy Heart for Inclusion Scholarship

$500 Cash Scholarship

This award honors a contestant who is making a difference in the lives of individuals with disabilities — through service, advocacy, or simply showing up with love, patience, and purpose.

Graciously donated by Geaux Clean Janitors, and named in honor of Avery Joy, whose life reminds us that every individual is worthy of celebration, this scholarship recognizes a young woman whose compassion leads the way. Whether she’s volunteering with children, mentoring students, or creating inclusive spaces in her community, her kindness reflects something far greater than herself.

She doesn’t just speak about impact … she lives it.

And this was one she’ll never forget.

Watching our Miss Louisiana Volunteer 2025 hear her name called for the Top 16 at Nationals was a moment we’ll always remember because she took the leap. She said yes. And she gave it her all.

Now it’s your turn.

👑 Only a few titles left.
🎓 $40,000+ in scholarships.

📅 Deadline to apply: September 25

✨ Just a queen being her radiant self and we are here for it!!

We adore our Teen titleholder, @sydney_a_sotak so much! 💗

Our nation has known moments that shake us to our core. September 11th was one of those days, one that changed us forever.

Yesterday, the tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk, we are shaken once again.

No matter where you stand politically, moments like this shake our nation to its core. Violence should never be the answer. May this be a moment that calls us higher and remember that every life has purpose and value. No matter their political stance, race, or religion. We are called to love.

Today, pause to remember.
To honor the lives lost, the heroes who rose, and remember our nation is stronger when we stand together and make a space for everyone and show love.

We will never forget. ❤️🤍💙

✨ Close your eyes and picture it…feel it!

The goose bumps, the butterflies, the excitement. Now open your eyes and realize…this could be YOU 👏

One of the most powerful tools you have as a competitor is your vision. If you can see yourself on that national stage, you can step into it. At our state workshop later this month, we’ll be working with every contestant on visualization and mindset, because confidence (and winning) starts in the mind BEFORE you hit the stage.

Trust us, it’s going to be good!

Cassie Donegan, Miss America 2026, was Miss New York Volunteer just last year. Tess Jerm, Miss America’s Teen 2026, was Miss South Carolina Teen Volunteer in 2023. Both placing in top five at the Miss Volunteer America national pageants!

Their stories remind us of something so important: competing in Miss Volunteer America does not hold you back from pursuing other opportunities, it prepares you for them. The experience, the growth, the confidence you gain here only sets you up for more success.

So if fear has been holding you back, let this be your sign. Compete for the experience. Compete for the growth. Compete because you deserve to step into all you’re capable of. 💙

It’s watching girls walk in a little nervous, and leave with a light in their eyes.
It’s the friendships that last long after the crowns come off.
It’s the reminder that you are seen, valued, and capable of so much more than you realize.

That’s what Miss Louisiana Volunteer is all about. 💙

#misslouisianavolunteer #mlv #mlv2026

The outpouring of love and support for the Hannah McFarland Scholarship has been overwhelming. To honor Hannah even further, we are creating additional awards in her name, each reflecting her strength and her light.

If you knew Hannah, you knew she had a way of making everyone feel seen. She had this beautiful ability to walk into a room and fill it with encouragement, kindness, and overflowing love. She reminded people of their worth, lifted others higher, and left an undeniable mark on every heart she touched.

That’s why we are so honored to name our Miss Congeniality Award in her memory. This $650 award will celebrate the young woman whose encouragement, kindness, and compassion brighten the journey for everyone around her, the very qualities Hannah lived so fully.

If you would like to give toward this fund, your generosity will allow us to present even more awards in Hannah’s honor, ensuring her spirit touches lives for years to come. 🌷
