Arkansas Boys State is an immersive program in civics education designed for high school juniors. Since 1940, the week-long camp has transformed the lives of young men throughout our state and beyond. These young men have grown on to become incredible leaders, including President Bill Clinton, former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee, and Senator Tom Cotton - just to name a few.
During their week at Arkansas Boys State, delegates are assigned a political party, city and county. Throughout the week, delegates, from the ground up, administer this mock government as if it were real: they run for office, draft and pass legislation, solve municipal challenges, and engage constituents. By the week's end, the delegates have experienced civic responsibility and engagement firsthand while making life-long memories and friends --all with the guiding principle that "Democracy Depends on Me."
Only males who have completed their junior year of high school and have at least one more semester of high school remaining are considered eligible to participate. Only boys with outstanding qualities of leadership, character, loyalty and service to their schools and community should be considered.
Arkansas Boys State meets each summer on the campus of the University of Central Arkansas in Conway. - arboysstate.org
