Belles

Belles are high school (9th-12th) girls who have been accepted into the Belle program. These young ladies will complete a minimum of fifteen volunteer assignments at community nonprofit organizations such as:

• Midland-Odessa Symphony & Chorale
• Midland Community Theater
• SeptemberFest – Museum of the Southwest
• Midland Festival Ballet
• Celebration of the Arts – Arts Council of Midland
• Mission Center Adult Day Service
• Safe Place of the Permian Basin

Through these assignments, Belles are learning more about our community and the value of giving back. The Belle program fosters responsibility, dedication and etiquette. Our Belles are held to the highest standards. Upon successful completion of all Belle program requirements, Belles are presented with a certificate of participation which is often used on college admission applications.

The parent, grandparent, legal guardian, or other designated family member who has attained Active status and is in good standing with the Midland Symphony Guild may submit the Belle’s name to the Belle Vice President for application to the Belle Program. The Guild (adult) member of a Belle must remain an Active member in good standing throughout the Belle’s participation in the Belle Program.
