Clinton American Legions Aims to Send Youth to Boys and Girls State

The Clinton American Legion is looking to send any interested high school juniors to Boys and Girls State this year.

 

Josh Thielen, Clinton American Legion District Commander, indicates this summer will be the first in-person Boys and Girls State in two years. He details what attendees can expect during this "week that will change a lifetime."

 

 

Thielen notes there are scholarships that attendees can apply for. At last year's virtual Girls State, the young lady that the Clinton American Legion Auxillary sponsored was a recipient of a scholarship.

 

 

At last week's Clinton Chamber of Commerce Business Expo, Thielen heard from past attendees on the lasting impact of the program and how you never know who your fellow attendees will turn out to be.

 

 

Boys State is June 11-17 and Girls State is June 19-25. The cost of attendance is covered by the American Legion. Anyone interested in attending is encouraged to message the Clinton American Legion through their Facebook page.
