American Leigion Boys’ State to be held at SUNY Morrisville June 25 – July 2, 2023; high school juniors encouraged to apply

The American Legion is currently seeking out young men, who possess top quality traits for character and leadership, to attend Boys State next summer.

Aimed for June 25 – July 2, 2023 at SUNY Morrisville, the program is a week-long training experience in citizenship and leadership. Participants learn the practical aspects of government as it exists in New York State, and come to recognize that the individual is integral to the character and success of government.

They also participate in physical fitness, team work and other activities under the guidance of American Legion counselors and U.S. Marines.

If you or a youth you know would like to apply, contact your local American Legion Post to inquire about sponsoring you to Boys State.

Once a Post agrees to sponsor you, you will receive a notification to go ahead and submit the online application to this year’s Boys State program.
