TEXAS BLUEBONNET GIRLS STATE
The mission of American Legion Auxiliary Texas Bluebonnet Girls State is to educate young women about the duties, privileges, rights, and responsibilities of American citizenship. Through hands-on experience and a series of dynamic educational activities, delegates will learn how to become well-informed, active, and engaged citizens who are equipped to contribute to the preservation and enhancement of American democracy.
The Program
Each day of Girls State is carefully planned to ensure that every delegate has a role in the function of the program, learning firsthand that the government is shaped by its citizens. Participants will engage in activities designed to teach them about the duties, rights, and responsibilities of American citizenship.
A highlight of the program includes a visit to the Texas State Capitol, where delegates will have the opportunity to observe legislative sessions and meet with state officials. The program is strictly nonpartisan: any “National” or “Federal” political parties formed during the session are purely fictional, intended solely to allow students to build their own city, county, and state governments based on the Texas Constitution and laws.
