The American Legion Utah Boys State Foundation
The Foundation, a 501(c)3 organization was started for the purpose of raising funds in support of the Utah Boys State youth educational program. The Foundation's leadership, management & staff are all volunteer. There are no paid employees, no shareholders and no dividends are disbursed. One-hundred percent of the donations received are used to support three main purposes.
- Provide financial/tuition assistance to boys that desire to attend the Utah Boys State class but do not have sufficient resources to do so.
- Provide funding for needs-based, private scholarships to post high school institutions of higher learning for boys that graduate from Utah Boys State and would otherwise not be able to pursue higher education.
- To provide general funding to help offset or minimize the "out-of-pocket-cost" to families of boys participating in the annual in-person "Utah Boys State" program. And, other necessary program support as determined by the Board of Directors.
The program is an annual, week-long youth summer camp. Boys having completed their junior year of high school are invited from across the state to take part in a participatory, educational program of civics and government instruction, where students become part of the leadership and operation of city, county, and state government, and learn the functional aspects of citizenship.
