“Supporting and promoting the self-esteem of the contestants is of the utmost importance to our organization. It is essential that the young women who compete feel a sense of belonging with both her fellow contestants and the larger pageant community. The skills learned in the miss oregon and miss oregon's outstanding teen pageants have been said to last a lifetime. Contestants gain the ability to speak and perform in public, to serve as leaders in their own communities and to have a sense of confidence in themselves and their abilities.”

“Participants benefitted from assistance with development of interview skills, talent, public speaking, community service, college applications, and scholarship applications. A seven day event is conducted (the pageant) in which scholarships are handed out; there was a total of 33,556 in scholarships given out this year. Additionally, winners of the pageant have the opportunity to vie for miss america and receive assistance in that endeavor (expenses, chaperones, etc.).”
