The American Legion Auxiliary Keystone Girls State program is an amazing, week long, simulated government immersive learning experience. America’s future leaders, now the high school girls become “citizens” and are assigned mock cities where they assume roles in the fictional “National” and “Federal” political parties, run for and hold offices that mirror their state’s elective offices. They learn from a dedicated group of volunteers, the fundamentals about the legislative process, the three branches of government, and parliamentary procedure. The high school girls that participate in this prestigious program learn life long lessons in leadership grounded in civility, teamwork, advocacy, consensus building, and respect. They have fun and make lasting friendships. They leave enriched, using what they learn throughout their lives for the betterment of our country

Usually the participants are young women who have completed their junior year of high school but, this year, with the cancellation of the 2020 program, senior girls may also apply.  The week will begin Sunday, June 20, 2021 and conclude on Saturday, June 26, 2021.  This event will be held at Shippensburg University and a day will be spent at the State Capitol.
