Eastern Shore Chamber of Commerce Youth Leadership application deadline is APR 12. This opportunity is available to rising 10th-12th graders.

Excellence: Lily Walton (11) has been selected as a delegate to Alabama Girls State which will convene at Troy University. Girls State, a youth program of the American Legion Auxiliary, has a rich history dating back to 1938 and has become one of the most respected and coveted experiential learning programs presented in the United States.

The program epitomizes the ALA’s mission to honor those who have brought us our freedom through our enduring commitment to develop young women as future leaders grounded in patriotism and Americanism. The young women become knowledgeable of the democratic process and how our republic form of government works at the state and national levels.

Each summer, approximately 20,000 young women participate in week-long 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 as “Federalists” and “Nationalists” to become mayors and county and state officials of their ALA Girls State.

Congratulations to Lily Walton, Alabama Girls State Delegate!
