We’re all about sparkle, beauty, and girl power! Our Miss Illinois Little Sister Program not only comes with complimentary merchandise, but benefits that you can carry with you in the future to become a Miss Illinois contestant. You will be able to follow alongside your big sister through their journey of potentially becoming Miss Illinois as well as your own journey as a Little Sister.

The Miss Illinois Little Sister Camp is an opportunity for girls ages 5 -12 to be partnered with a Miss Illinois local titleholder as a mentor. The goal of this program is to promote mentorship to our youth by utilizing the women of the Miss Illinois Scholarship Organization as role models. Participants will also learn about the values of the Miss America Organization, including a lesson about the Four Points of the Crown.

Arrival for the Little Sisters will be Thursday of competition week. Activities throughout the week include an etiquette lesson, onstage dance number rehearsals, and a tea party-style luncheon with the Miss Illinois Big Sisters and Miss Illinois. The Little Sisters will appear at the Miss Illinois’ Teen Finals on Friday evening in a dance number and will have an individual introduction on stage during the Miss Illinois final on Saturday.
