Expanding Boys State participation

A GoFundMe project is underway to help high school juniors in the Department of France take part in the American Legion Boys State and Auxiliary Girls State programs.

The department has coordinated with the Department of Maryland to have candidates from Europe participate in their weeklong program. As in the United States, expenses associated with attending the program are paid by the post that selects the student/s – but said expenses are far higher when international travel is involved.

Further information can be obtained from the Department of France’s Boys State coordinator, Joseph Schram, at joseph.schram@gmail.com.
