2019 ALA Girls State Goes to Emerson “Emmy” Beaupre

The American Legion Auxiliary is proud to be sending this superb nominee: Emmy Beaupre to this years Girls State! We are proud to support our future leaders of America and we are sure Emmy will be among the best. Each summer, approximately 16,000 young women participate in weeklong ALA Girls State programs across the nation. Every American Legion Auxiliary Girls State program operates with the same patriotic values through a nonpartisan curriculum where students assume the roles of government leaders, campaigning in mock parties (often called “Federalists” and “Nationalists”) to become mayors and county and state officials of their ALA Girls State. The program is a weeklong immersive learning experience, often held on a college campus where girls live in “cities” within a dormitory-like setting. The learning, experience, memories, and friendships last a lifetime.
