ALJBS is the premier youth leadership program for top NJ high school seniors boys. It’s a week-long, college-level seminar that educates and motivates New Jersey’s young men to become citizen leaders in their community, dedicated to service, respect, and Americanism.
Boys State educates youth in the duties, privileges, rights and responsibilities of American citizenship. Boys State endeavors to provide a foundation for understanding self-government, a rational approach toward the solution of public questions, and a live faith in the ideals and processes of democracy. The program of training and instruction consists of extending the boy-citizen’s acquaintance with the background of American ideals, expanding his knowledge of the underlying principles of government organization, and by means of active participation in the government of Boys State helps him to set up constructive ideals toward all phases of representative government.
