Since 1947, Volunteer Girls State, a program of the American Legion Auxiliary, has invested in more than 25,000 young women in Tennessee by providing the tools they need to become confident, informed citizens and voters.
The nonpartisan program is offered annually to more than 575 of Tennessee’s rising high school seniors and is centered on citizenship, teamwork, and fostering a love of God and country. Experienced volunteer staff and counselors — each one a program alumna — help guide participants, or “citizens,” through the week as they elect city, county, and state officials, engage in party politics, debate legislation, and collaborate in a host of fun team activities.
Program Highlights
Practical, engaging citizenship and a dynamic government curriculumRespectful debate of real-world issuesLive sessions of the Tennessee Supreme CourtFun competitions, including ALA VGS OlympicsMusical performances by the ALA VGS ChorusProminent speakers have included Tennessee’s governor, U.S. Senators, and other public officials
The 78th session of American Legion Auxiliary Volunteer Girls State will be held at Lipscomb University from Sunday, May 26 through Saturday, June 1, 2024! This is a program of the American Legion Auxiliary for rising senior girls from across the state of Tennessee.
