About All American Girl

It was the passion for developing strong young women that led Lisa Franchini and Tracy Hales to start the All American Girl Youth Development Program. This scholarship program exists for the purpose of providing personal growth and leadership skills for tomorrow’s women. They were determined to emphasize the positives and eliminate the negatives associated with pageantry. They felt it was important to provide a wholesome, ethical competition that not only contestants but their entire family could enjoy. They believed in creating an environment where contestants could grow, mature, and develop. They wanted to provide girls the opportunity to exhibit their talents, personalities, interpersonal skills, and sportsmanship that would further enhance their lives and provide direction as they pursue their ambitions.

In All American Girl we are searching for a natural, genuine young lady to represent our program. She should be charming and personable; well groomed and poised; self-confident; and above all have the character, humility and inner beauty that set her apart as a leader. An All American Girl is comfortable in a crowd and is respectful of those around her. Her manners, dress and behavior are age appropriate. It is important to note that the concept of "beauty" in All American Girl is defined as a person's "inner beauty" and strength of character combined with her ability to communicate effectively with others. This program’s purpose is not to place emphasis on physical beauty, but rather to seek the self-confident person who is the all American girl.

Moving forward, the All American Girl Youth Development Program will continue to teach girls the power of giving back to their community by supporting Autism Speaks, alongside local charities within their community. Helping our children learn the value of giving back provides them with tools that they will be able to use in their lifetime.

As Lisa and Tracy continue to grow this pageant, they have had the pleasure to observe girls who have gone through the program grow into amazing young women. “There is nothing better than to see one of our girls achieving their goals” Lisa Franchini

    This was my daughters 2nd year attending AAG nationals. I have seen my daughter thrive and truly come out of her shell competing in this system. We have participated in other pageants before but none were as welcoming and thoughtful as the AAG staff and contestants. We are so thankful for the national directors and staff being so considerate and kind throughout the whole competition. We appreciate how much work and effort that is put into every event throughout the week. We look forward to Natio Show more

    I have done this national pageant 4 times and I’m hooked. I love this program and it really feels like a family. It’s so hard when I don’t win because I want it so bad. But I come back to try again because the people are great and the parties are so fun I love dancing the night away playing hula hoop and limbo.

    All American Girl is an amazing program for girls. We have been coming for 10 plus years now. We look forward to this week every single year. We have seen the directors do their best in making decisions that are best for the program. They have grown every single year which is a perfect sign of dedication and girls becoming a family. We have been fortunate enough to be on the winning side a few times as well as falling short a few times. Both scenarios were treated perfectly. Not every system is Show more
