We are looking for a Junior Miss Mentor to provide support to the court of Junior Miss Daffodil Festival contestants through their interview process and mentor/assist the Junior Miss with quarterly volunteer opportunities. The Junior Miss Mentor works year round, averaging 2 hours per month. Junior Misses are age 11-15 (Middle School). The Junior Miss Mentor will work alongside the Queen and Little Miss Mentor and must act in good faith to steward leadership and service to the Junior Miss. Duties include:
- Share information on the Daffodil Festival Queen contest with local schools and clubs
