Jade Monfils is a judge for the 2010 Miss & Teen Duncanville Pageant (MAO)

I was honored to be a judge for the Miss and Teen Duncanville pageant, part of the Miss America Organization. I know the dedication and hard work that one puts into preparing for a pageant, and I was excited to be changing 2 very lucky young women's lives. It was an enjoyable day, starting with the personal interviews, where we got to know about each lady and their passions. Also the talent portion is always fun to watch. I'm so proud of our new winners (both named Ashley) they will do a great job representing Duncanville this year at Miss Texas and Miss Teen Texas!!

My Platform

In 2009 I traveled over 7,000 miles across the state of Texas, and helped to raise over $200,000 for after-school and youth mentoring programs; with The Boys & Girls Clubs of America and Big Brothers & Big Sisters. I believe that many of our youth are growing up too fast, and being negatively influenced. Many children are coming from broken homes and I believe that through after-school programs and positive mentoring these youth can be productive in today's society instead of destructive. Growing up I had two working parents, and had many friends that were “latch key kids”. I have seen first hand the dangers of gang violence and the importance of these programs. Having volunteered with the Boys & Girls Clubs of America since 1999 and mentoring my “little sister” through Big Brother and Big Sisters, I see a need for positive outlets for young teens. For youth, 12 - 14 years old is a crucial time when youth are exposed to gangs. Also boys and girls involved in after school programs are 50% less likely to drop out of high school, and 2.5 times more likely to go on to further education.
