What Alumni are saying

Jake Sonzogni 2013 Alumni |
"Boy's State is an excellent program filling gaps in leadership, academics, and friendship that you thought you never needed. It is a life-altering program that will garner your interest in topics not commonly covered in High Schools: government, politics, leadership traits and tactics, and communication."

Connor Torraca 2012 Alumni |
"It’s only a week, but you build impactful friendships with guys that you will hold onto forever. It was easily one of the most consequential programs I participated in during high school, and it most certainly has shaped what I have done since."

“The Florida American Legion Boys State program changes lives. It brings young men from all walks of life together and forces them out of their comfort zone. For many, it sparks a drive in them to go out and make a difference their world.”
