The American Legion Auxiliary’s Keystone Girls State is a week-long program designed to educate Pennsylvania’s young women on our nation’s government and its foundation in Americanism, leadership and moral character. Throughout the week, citizen will hold elected positions at the city, county and state levels along with writing, debating, and voting on legislation in House and Senate sessions. Within their cities, citizens create ordinances, and in turn, prosecute any lawbreakers in a mock trail format. In their city businesses, citizens have the opportunity to develop entrepreneurialism and gain personal experience with a free market economy. Moreover, citizens will travel to the state Capitol to meet the governor and sing the national anthem. Most importantly, citizens will develop relationships that will last a lifetime!
