Girls State offers training in the practical processes of self government and good citizenship as practiced in a democratic society.
Each summer, approximately 20,000 enthusiastic young women participate in Girls State sessions across the nation. At Girls State, the “citizens” study local, county, and state governmental processes. They do this by setting up their own miniature city, county, and state governments and administer them according to the laws of their particular state.
