The resolution honors Amelia Lisowe, who was crowned Miss Arkansas' Teen 2025 on June 13, 2025, at the Robinson Center in Little Rock, Arkansas. At just fourteen years old, Amelia is a freshman at Bryant Junior High School and the founder of Lisowes Lights, a nonprofit organization that provides night lights to children in foster care, having distributed over 37,000 lights across the U.S. and internationally. Her dedication to service has earned her national recognition, including appearances on major television shows, and she has accumulated over 900 volunteer hours, receiving multiple Gold Presidential Volunteer Service awards.
In addition to her philanthropic efforts, Amelia showcased her artistic talents through a lyrical dance performance during the Miss Arkansas' Teen competition and answered questions about her goals for fostering community service and addressing stereotypes. She has received significant scholarship offers, including full-ride scholarships from several universities, and is recognized as the youngest recipient of a scholarship offer from Mississippi State University. The resolution concludes by acknowledging her role as a model and ambassador for the Miss Arkansas Scholarship Organization and her ongoing mission to support foster children, with a copy of the resolution to be presented to her by the Secretary of the Senate.
