Are YOU from Girls State?​

​​

Each Delegate is an 11th grade student during the

2025-26 school year and is selected and sponsored

by an American Legion Auxiliary Unit.

​​​

An ALA Unit can sponsor any number of Delegates,

but there can be only one Delegate per high school;

Units can sponsor Delegates from more than one school.

ALA Unit Girls State Chairpersons work with school staff

to select a Delegate, 1st Alternate, and 2nd Alternate.
