Bringing Beauty to Others

Pennsylvania’s Jade Harris might be a beauty queen, but her message is more than skin deep.

As she focuses on mentoring at-risk youth, Jade continues to be a role model in her community.

Jade is an active mentor at local youth organizations in Pittsburgh and other areas of Southwestern Pennsylvania, working with Goodwill Good Guides and The Shore Project. It’s a chance for her to work closely with her peers and help them relate to similar struggles.

As the reigning Plus Teen USA, Jade visited Children’s Home of Pittsburgh and Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh last year bringing joy and laughter to those who need it most.

She also teamed up with Pittsburgh Beauty Academy and brought an “Evening of Beauty” for the female patients. One of the fun events included patients creating their own crowns to wear just like Jade’s!

In addition to her title and tiara, Jade maintains a 4.0 GPA, serves as the vice president of her church youth group and co-directs her youth choir.

The three-time Carson Scholar will attend Geneva College this fall pursuing a career in pediatric medicine and is sure to lead by example!
