Arkansas Girls State is an immersive civics education program designed for young women who have completed their junior year of high school. Since 1942, the program has been working to teach future generations of Arkansans citizens to be actively involved in their communities and government at every level. 

Each  Arkansas Boys/Girls State program participant is assigned a place in a mock political party, city, and county.  Over the course of the week, delegates will nominate and elect officials to the various levels of their government.  The program offerings are designed to offer practical instruction on citizens' and public officials' duties and responsibilities (see attached photos).
