American Legion Auxiliary units in all 50 states host ALA Girls State, a week of learning focused on responsible citizenship, leadership and love for God and country.

Female high school students who have completed their junior year are competitively selected and sponsored by American Legion Auxiliary units for this program where they learn about the political process by electing officials for all levels of state government and actively running a mock government. The girls are assigned to mock cities and either the Federalist Party or Nationalist Party.
