What Is ALA Girls Nation?
ALA Girls Nation is a weeklong government-in-action program in Washington, D.C. Participants draft and debate legislation, elect officers and visit federal and historical sites. Two students are chosen from each American Legion Auxiliary Girls State program; students do not enter through a general national application.
The official page describes July 18–25, 2026 for students entering senior year. It does not establish 2027 national dates or an application deadline. The first step is the relevant Girls State selection process, whose local eligibility, dates, documents, participant costs and covered travel must be checked separately. Private funding is not a guarantee that every expense is covered.
