<p>What single American Legion Auxiliary event can be inspirational, educational, life-changing, and fun? It is American Legion Auxiliary Girls State/Girls Nation, a marquee Auxiliary program since 1937. At American Legion Auxiliary Girls State, high school students who have completed their junior year are competitively selected to participate in the seven-day mock government program where they learn about civics and American government in a fast-paced, interactive program of campaigning, debating, voting, and electing mock local and state leaders.</p>
