The Teamsters hosted the D.C. Boys and Girls State, a weeklong civic leadership program sponsored by the American Legion and American Legion Auxiliary.



Twelve rising senior delegates from the Metro D.C. area took part in the program, learning about civic engagement, public policy, and governance. During the week, students were separated into the two major political parties, they ran for office, held elections, drafted bills, debated issues important to them, and voted on their proposed legislation.



At the end of the program, two boys and two girls will be selected to represent D.C. as Senators at Boys Nation and Girls Nation.
