STUDENT: American Legion Boys State and Girls State

For those who have completed his/her junior year of high school, the American Legion sponsors a free week-long summer leadership program called Boys State and also a Girls State. The main site is here and includes a great video.

The Pennsylvania American Legion Keystone Boys State and also Keystone Girls State is a unique week long summertime educational program that does not emphasize classroom lectures and textbook learning. Instead, it focuses on participation and personal experience in a model state, complete with governing bodies and elected public officials. It is designed to mirror the structure and operation of its respective state government. College credit is available.
