During their year as a Young American Women of Service representative, YAWOS participants are guided through monthly service challenges, initiatives and activities to help cultivate a natural desire to serve their communities and share with their peers. Our YAWOS Coordinator and Educator will help the YAWOS participants to be successful in navigating age appropriate service activities and keep a log of community service hours to be turned in for awards placement at nationals. A year as a Young American Women of Service representative and participant is intended to be a year of growth and achievement.
Each year, during the American Women of Service Pageant, girls ages 4-25 years have the opportunity
to capture the spotlight as a Young American Woman of Service during the pageant weekend. Our
YAWOS participants will take part in a weekend full fo fun experiences, including a service project, a
tea party, a pajama party, awards dinner, national opening number, group activity/event and much
more!
The Young American Women of Service titleholders are mentored by the contestants and later are
mentored by titleholders during their reign. Young American Women of Service empowers young
women to begin their pageant career through volunteerism, giving back, and participating in their
school and community through our platform, The Crown CARE (Creating A Respectful Environment in
Schools/ Society).
Community service awards are given in various age divisions: ages 4-6, ages 7-9, ages 10-12, ages 13-15, and age 16+
