Young people have the potential to be a force in elections, but only if they get involved and make voting a habit.
Secretary of State Debra Bowen and Superintendent of Public Instruction Jack O'Connell are holding the 2010 MyVote California Student Mock Election to help high school and middle school students discover the importance of elections and the power of their votes in our democracy.
Girls State Citizens are encouraged to get involved by assisting their high school and community. Go to MyVote for information and materials.

is a leadership program of the American Legion Auxiliary designed to increase awareness and knowledge of governmental processes while learning about the duties, privileges, rights and responsibilities of citizenship. Delegates come away with a greater appreciation of the American Flag and of the sacrifices made by our veterans. While at Girls State, they make friends with outstanding girls from around the state and have a fun week they’ll remember for the rest of their lives. California Girls State is a program sponsored by the American Legion Auxiliary (ALA) Department of California.
The Auxiliary, organized in 1919 to assist the American Legion, is much more than the name implies. The organization has achieved its own unique identity while working side-by-side with the veterans who belong to The American Legion. Like the Legion, the Auxiliary's interests have broadened to encompass the entire community.
The American Legion Auxiliary is the world's largest women's patriotic service organization. Through its nearly 10,500 Units located in every state and some foreign countries, the Auxiliary embodies the spirit of America that has prevailed through war and peace. Along with the American Legion, it solidly stands behind America and her ideals.
The ALA Department of California is a proud supporter of the Girls State program. Nearly 300 locally based Units work all year to raise money in order to provide scholarships to students to attend Girls State. Local Units recruit from area high schools and select young women who are just completing their Junior year to attend the summer session. |
