The Jersey Boys’ State Program
American Legion Jersey Boys' State is a highly respected program in citizenship administered by The American Legion, Department of New Jersey. For one week each summer, participants become citizens of a mythical 51st state, learning about the operation of government at the city, county and state levels.

During the week, participants learn about and explore all facets of the democratic process of representative government. Court administration, legislative assembly, law enforcement and the political process are among the areas of involvement. In addition, a newspaper is published, a band organized and athletic activities are included.

At the conclusion of the American Legion Jersey Boys' State program, a governor is elected and appoints his cabinet. Two senators are elected and go on to attend a week at the American Legion Boys' Nation, held annually in Washington, D.C.

Stetser-Lamartine Post 281 sponsors approximately 10 young men each year to attend The American Legion Jersey Boys' State program at Rider University. Sponsorship includes all fees and program expenses, including food, housing, text materials, etc.

Young men in their junior year at any of the three Black Horse Pike Regional High Schools (Highland, Timber Creek Triton) are interviewed by the Post 281 selection committee. Selection criteria are based on outstanding qualifications of personal character and leadership, and on a desire to participate fully in The American Legion Boys' State program.
