Description of Event

PAJI organizes the Pennsylvania Juneteenth Scholarship Pageant with a mission to promote awareness and confidence among, African American young people while producing positive role models for the community; to develop young people that will promote self-confidence, self-worth, moral, academic and social support for our youth; and to publicly recognize men, youth, and women who have obtained personal, professional and community achievements. We will use this platform to educate, encourage and empower young people to be the best version of themselves in every area of life.
