Where can I find preteen models?

Finding preteen models can be done through various channels, depending on the purpose (commercial, editorial, etc.) and location. Here are some options to consider:

**Modeling Agencies**: Many reputable modeling agencies have divisions for children and preteens. Look for agencies that specialize in child models. Check their submission guidelines for how to approach them.

**Casting Websites**: Platforms like Backstage, Casting Networks, or Model Mayhem allow you to post casting calls specifically for preteen models.

**Social Media**: Instagram and other social media platforms can be good places to find young talent. You can search for hashtags related to child modeling or scouting young influencers.

**Local Schools and Communities**: Reach out to local dance, theater, or art schools where you might find children interested in modeling. Community centers may also have programs or contacts.

**Talent Shows and Events**: Attend local talent shows or modeling events where young models may be showcasing their skills. This also gives you a chance to see them in action.

**Online Marketplaces**: Websites like Thumbtack or Fiverr may have individuals offering modeling services, including for preteens.
