JUNIOR FEMALES - AMERICAN LEGION AUXILIARY GIRLS STATE

American Legion Auxiliary Girls State provides an opportunity for superior high school women who have completed their junior year to experience the “nitty gritty” of state government processes—the chance to live outside the text book. This program not only instills in its attendees a sense of pride and loyalty in America, but also prepares these women for a career in politics, public service, and excellence along their career path. It is the chance to plunge head-first into democracy, develop sharp leadership skills, and create the foundation for informed and responsible world citizenship. Interested Junior females may use the link below to complete an application. Also, a cover letter with instructions as to how to turn in the application and send payment is attached.
