The purpose of ALA Girls State/Girls Nation is to provide an outstanding, unique, and coveted educational opportunity for the young women of our nation and instills the basic ideals and principles of American government through the American Legion Auxiliary Girls State and American Legion Auxiliary Girls Nation citizenship training programs.
American Legion Auxiliary Girls Nation has provided aspiring young women leaders firsthand experience with practical insight into how the federal government works.
ALA Girls State is a unique and exciting government-in-action learning program in which American Legion Auxiliary members guide young women to become knowledgeable stewards of freedom, democracy, and patriotic citizens.
ALA Girls State is a highly selective program designed for young women with above average academic standing, outstanding character, and exemplary leadership qualities. Administered by the individual states, Units follow the selection and participation guidelines established by their respective departments. Units work with schools to find candidates, but the final decision is up to the unit. It is crucial to continually cultivate the relationship with school personnel to ensure recruitment of qualified candidates.

ATTENTION!!! The 2021 Session of American Legion Auxiliary Hoosier Girls State (ALAHGS) is going virtual! We want to keep our delegates and staff as safe as possible, and feel this is the best option for this year. We still plan on having an excellent virtual program to offer girls across the state of Indiana for this once in a lifetime experience. Girls who are in their Junior year of high school (Class of 2022) may apply. Due to the cancellation of the 2020 ALA HGS session, we are also inviting the class of 2021 girls to apply. Please seek out your guidance counselors or your local American Legion Auxiliary Unit for the application and more information.
We are hopeful that we can return to Trine University in person for the 2022 session.
