Do you want to make a difference
in your school or community?
Welcome to Oregon Girls State, a premiere leadership, volunteer and citizenship training program unlike any other!
Oregon Girls State is a program sponsored by the American Legion Auxiliary Department of Oregon. Each summer we host a one-week session for young women to come and learn about our governmental and public systems and how to become actively involved in the community as leaders. This program gives young women an opportunity to experience state government in a hands-on, interactive environment.
