The American Legion is once again searching for motivated rising seniors to sponsor the Girls and Boys State summer sessions. These are week-long courses in state and local government. It is a "leadership action program" where students develop a working knowledge of the structure of government. Activities include legislative sessions, court proceedings, assemblies, and recreational programs. Boys State will be held from May 26-June1 at Riverside Military Academy. Girls State will be held from June 9-14 at Georgia Southern University.
Please visit www.georgiagirlsstate.org or www.dogboysstate.org for more information on each program. Please complete all applications by April 20, 2019. The Post#20 Athens chapter will be able to pay for the cost to attend. Applications can be downloaded or picked up in the counseling office.
