With just 5 months before the 70th session of American Legion Jersey Boys State, the staff is gearing up for another fantastic week-long, hands-on, college-level seminar. Our Dean of Staff and his assistants are putting together their invites for the 2014 alumni, the Director and his Assistants are preparing the invites to top-notch speakers, and the staff of Legion Headquarters are preparing to open up the Online Application for all delegates and alternates chosen by American Legion posts across the state. ALJBS.org is your one-stop shopping for all things related to this year's session.

Renowned as one of the best and largest American Legion Boys State programs in the country, ALJBS is dedicated to teaching leadership, civics and politics in its unique hands-on program held each year at Rider University in Lawrenceville, NJ.
