The Miss Teen Achievement Newfoundland and Labrador Scholarship Pageant was founded on the principle that the future of our province is dependent upon the leadership qualities of today's youth. We believe that involvement in volunteer work and community service should be both encouraged and rewarded. We further believe that in order to become a strong leader, a young woman must be a well-rounded individual. She must challenge herself academically, she must be physically fit, poised, and she must be able to exude confidence and self-esteem. Miss Teen Achievement must also possess a strong desire to set a good example for others; and in the spirit of competition, she must be gracious.

The Miss Teen Achievement Newfoundland and Labrador Scholarship Pageant provides a forum for young women ages 13 -18 to challenge themselves to be their best and reward them for their efforts.

This not-for-profit organization is operated by a volunteer committee, and funds raised through sponsorships are dispersed in the form of educational scholarships, in accordance with the guidelines established for not-for-profit organizations by the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador and the Canada Revenue Agency. Entry fees are used to offset the administrative and production costs associated with the pageant, as well as traveling expenses for our winner.

The winner of the Miss Teen Achievement Newfoundland and Labrador Pageant will become a role model and voice for young people, and will travel throughout the province attending various festivals, events and charitable fundraisers.
