The Heartland Cover Girl Pageant is a pageant for Heartland area girls. Our mission is to support adolescent mental health.The Cover Girl Pageant aims to empower adolescent girls, raise awareness about the importance of mental health, and provide resources for those in need. In today's fast-paced world, our youth face numerous challenges that can significantly impact their mental well-being. This event not only serves as a platform to empower and build confidence, but also as a vital initiative to support mental health services for adolescents. Pageants can significantly benefit adolescent mental health by fostering self-confidence. Participating in pageants requires individuals to present themselves confidently, which can enhance their self-esteem. The experience of rehearsing, performing, and receiving feedback helps adolescents develop a positive self-image and learn to value their unique qualities.
Additionally, pageants often encourage goal-setting and achievement. Adolescents set personal and professional goals for the competition, which can translate into improved focus and motivation in other areas of their lives. This goal-oriented mindset can be empowering, helping them to approach challenges with a proactive attitude.
Involvement in pageants also promotes social skills and community engagement. Adolescents interact with peers, mentors, and judges, building strong social networks and learning effective communication skills. This social interaction can provide a sense of belonging and support, reducing feelings of isolation and enhancing overall mental well-being.
Furthermore, pageants often include educational components, such as public speaking, community service, and personal development workshops. These opportunities allow adolescents to delve into new interests and talents, boosting their sense of accomplishment and broadening their horizons. The ultimate result is a more well-rounded and resilient individual.
Pageants can offer a platform for self-expression and advocacy. Adolescents can use the stage to address important social issues or share personal stories, which can be empowering and validating. This ability to voice their opinions and contribute to meaningful causes can enhance their self-worth and provide a deeper sense of purpose.

Vision: We value the family as the primary source of community development, and our priority is to initiate the development and growth of the youth. We are targeting youth between ages seven (7) and seventeen (17), but are not limiting ourselves to these particular ages, because a healthy and successful lifestyle must be maintained, ongoing into the senior adult life. We believe our youth are members of families, and families are members of communities. The main goal of this organization is to address the issues through Counseling, Discipling, Educating (tutoring), and Mentoring, in order to establish and maintain a nurturing environment, with caring adults and a healthy, safe place to improve educational success, to reduce the number of youth engaging in delinquent behavior, and to improve the quality of their lives economically, educationally, socially, & spiritually.
Mission: Trance/Formers, Inc. is designed to address youth, and adults, who are at-risk, isolated, impoverished, in drug-infested environments; as well as, those who are or have been emotionally, physically, and/or verbally abused and/or neglected. Primary prevention and early intervention can help youth increase their coping skills to emulate healthy patterns instead of negative ones, such as juvenile delinquency, premature sexual behavior, substance abuse, violence, etc. We endeavor to lower the level of emotional disorders by providing mentoring in formal and informal settings, to reduce stress and promote conditions that increase confidence and coping skills in young boys and girls, as well as adults. Due to a variety of changes, in the scope of our country?s economic status, we provide an array of life-altering strategies and techniques for those who are adults as well.
