Do you have a Junior that is interested in the political process and how government works? They may want to apply to be part of Boys or Girls State. Representatives who attended last year will be visiting Junior social studies classes on Thursday, March 14th to talk about this exciting opportunity.
Minnesota American Legion Boys/Girls State
is a week-long experience of learning about Minnesota government at the local, county and state levels by "doing". It is a week of intensive study and involvement. The participants will actually organize and participate in the various levels and branches of government in addition to participating in athletics, music, writing for the newspaper or holding leadership positions across all levels of the program. Every boy/girl will participate in the process of city, county and state government. Minnesota Boys/Girls State is a program for young men/women who have just completed their junior year of high school. Highlights of the week include political speakers, mock trials, campaigning, elections, and announcement of the Boys/Girls State Governor and State Constitutional Officers.
