Filipino-American Miss Teen International 2017 Carly Peeters has been an advocate of literacy among youth ever since. A dedicated volunteer of Jumpstart Children First—which is an early education organization that provides programming for preschool children in America from under resourced communities—and Build On, an international organization that builds schools in developing countries, Peeters’ lifelong dream is for children to have access to quality education.
