American Legion Campbell-Richmond #63 is searching for juniors in high school who may be interested in attending Girls State.
Every year, the Girls State and Boys State program teaches students in their junior year of high school the function of government, a glimpse of life in a college dorm setting, leadership, management, and communication skills.
In the course of a week, they will also develop friendships that will last a lifetime.
This year, the program is being held June and all costs are covered by members of Campbell-Richmond #63.
