Greetings from the Directors!

The Michigan American Legion Boys State Program has had an enormous impact on thousands of young men over the years. We continue to hold a top notch government simulation program at Northwood University each and every year. The American Legion continues to provide the financial support needed in order to operate Boys State. Individual sponsorships come from Posts and other civic minded organizations.

If you are like us, you have fond memories of your Boys State experience and perhaps became a better person because of your week at Boys State. The Boys State Alumni Message Board will allow former Boys Staters the opportunity to communicate and get caught up on what's going on since attending Boys State. Remember, we have had Boys State in MIchigan since 1938! Many Boys State participants stay in touch year after year!

Also, if your life changed in some way because of Boys State, perhaps you would like to help future Boys Staters have a similar experience? If you would like to know how to financially support a Boys Stater please use the contact page to get more information. We need your help! Please consider donating to Boys State!

We hope you enjoy this web site!
