Boys State Sponsorship

Building the next generation of civic leaders.

American Legion Boys State is one of the most respected youth leadership programs in the country. Delegates spend a week building a mock state government from the ground up — running for office, debating policy, and learning how citizenship really works.

How Post 200 Helps

Post 200 sponsors deserving local students so they can attend at no cost to their families. It is an investment in young leaders who often come home transformed.

  • A week of hands-on government and leadership
  • Open to rising high school seniors who qualify
  • Sponsorship covers the cost of attending
  • Nominations often come through local schools
