Children 3-12 are invited to join mentoring program
The Miss Vermont Scholarship Organization (MVSO) announced Sept. 2 the opening of registration for its mentoring program. The Little Miss Red Clover program pairs girls age 3-12 with local and state titleholders. Boys in the same age range are eligible to participate as Little Brothers.
This program includes mentoring sessions and the opportunity to participate in select appearances with Miss Vermont 2024 Meara Seery and Miss Vermont’s Teen 2024 Charlee Royer. Each Little Miss Red Clover receives a crown and sash along with two complimentary tickets to the Miss Vermont Competition being held Sunday, May 4, 2025 at Spruce Peak Performing Arts Center in Stowe. Interested Little Miss Red Clovers and Little Brothers will also be invited to be featured on stage during the competition.
Eleven-year-old Addy Brooks of St. Albans has been a “Little Miss Red Clover” for the past two years.
“I enjoy being with my mentor and being out with the community with her and giving back to the community,” said Addy. “I have also gained a lot of confidence in myself.”
Addy’s mother Jodi believes other families should consider taking part in the program. “I think she has really grown as a person to be responsible, confident, and always believing in herself,” said Brooks.

The Little Miss Red Covers program introduces kids age 3-12 to pageantry via mentorship with Miss Vermont and Miss Vermont Teen. Registration is now open for the next season.
“The mentoring program is a special and integral part of our organization,” said Executive Director Darcie Fisher. “These children have an opportunity to work directly with our current Miss Vermont and Miss Vermont’s Teen. This program also includes an emphasis on community service, exposing young Vermonters to various ways they can give back to their communities and the Green Mountain State.”
The Miss Vermont Scholarship Competition is a preliminary to the Miss America Program, one of the nation’s leading achievement programs and the world’s largest provider of scholarship assistance for young women. More than $45 million in scholarships is made available annually at the local, state and national levels.
