Investing in Utah women. Through scholarship and service.
Bring your talent, your educational goals and a cause you care about. Miss Utah Volunteer connects the work of preparing for competition with the work of contributing to your community.
Utah roots. A national connection.
Miss Utah Volunteer is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization registered with the State of Utah and affiliated with Miss Volunteer America, the national service-oriented scholarship organization founded by Allison DeMarcus.
Our Miss and Teen programs bring that national mission to Utah. Participants develop their talents, communicate the issues that matter to them and pursue opportunities to represent their state on the national stage. Princess participation offers younger families their own program to explore.
Utah is part of the organization’s history: Alexa Knutzen, then Miss Utah Volunteer, won the inaugural Miss Volunteer America competition in 2022. Explore the women and stories behind our state’s national honors.
