I had a great time at Boys State. Can I come back as a Counselor/How do I come back as a Counselor?

Applications for open counselor positions are sent directly to citizens via email at the completion of the program. Application deadlines are posted on social media as well (@laboysstate).

Counselor selection for Boys State is headed by a selection committee composed of a mixture of Staff Members and Senior Counselors. All Citizens are evaluated equally throughout the week of their Boys State experience for consideration without regard to elected position within the program.

Counselor selection is based solely on performance at the Boys State program, formal applications, and/or phone interviews with Staff Members. While outside factors such as extracurricular activities, GPA, or having relatives in the American Legion might bolster an already strong Counselor application, they are not a determining factor in the decision to extend a Counselor application to a former Citizen.
