Florida's
Hometown U.S.A. is an educational program that stresses the importance
of church, home and school activities for Florida's youth. Five students
are selected each year to represent their hometown throughout the state.
Each girl is recognized by the Mayor of her city and by her school. Her
year of service is spent doing volunteer work and attending many community
service events. The girls are presented a Resolution from the House of
Representatives, the Florida Senate and the Florida Department of Commerce.
They receive a Certificate of Achievement from the United States Congress.
They also receive recognition from the Governor, Lt. Govenor, President of the US,
Vice President, and the First Lady.
A special
highlight of the year is a visit to our State Capitol for a meeting with
state leaders and a photo session with the Governor and Lt. Governor. A special time for all is our visit to
the Governor's Mansion. The girls have a choice to visit our Nation's Capitol
in Washington D.C. or New York city and enjoy this exciting opportunity.
The purpose
of our program is to select local students to represent their hometown
and to promote pride in their community by active involvement in volunteer
work. We are a very active program and our winners are given special attention
and opportunities. Our goal is for the girls to have an educational fun
filled year of recognition throughout Florida.
