Miss America’s Little Sisters Mentoring Program

The same exciting friendship, a new fun program…

The Nebraska Little Sisters Program is now the Miss America’s Little Sisters Mentoring Program. We are excited to join this national organization as your Nebraska’s Sparklers chapter.

The program began as a goodwill gesture between girls in the local community and the visiting delegates. The Big and Little Sisters are introduced to either a Miss or Teen delegate at Orientation and often correspond several times between then and competition week. During the competition week, they rehearse together and have some time for recreation and building friendships. These friendships often last for many years and create a lasting bond between the big sister and little sister.

APPLICATIONS ARE FULL FOR THE 2024 NEBRASKA’S SPARKLERS


Forever Miss Nebraska

For more than 80 years, the Miss Nebraska organization has given young women the opportunity to express their talents and achieve their dreams. We celebrate the ongoing legacy of all our Forever Miss Nebraskas.
