American Legion Boys State is a highly respected leadership program that teaches high school students how government works—by letting them run it themselves. Participants take part in hands-on city, county, and state government activities, including elections, legislative sessions, and courts, gaining real-world insight into the rights and responsibilities of citizenship.
High school juniors are selected by local American Legion Posts, and most costs are covered by sponsors such as Legion Posts, businesses, or community organizations. Boys State is offered in 49 states and has helped prepare young leaders since 1935.
The American Legion Auxiliary offers a similar program for young women called Girls State. For more information, visit www.boysandgirlsstate.org/girls.html
