Volunteering is MORE than a Photo Op… or at least it should be! As someone who has been involved in pageantry for more years than many of the readers here on TFTJ (seriously!), you cannot imagine how many times I have heard from organizations across the country their skepticism when they are approached by a “queen” (local, state or even of the national level). I share with them that today’s queens (or titleholders as some like to be called) are of a new generation, that they are here to help improve the environment, empower other women, make a positive impact … and then BAM! I hear of another volunteer experience turning into just a photo opp.
