About American Legion Jersey Boys State
ALJBS is a week-long experience that educates, trains, and inspires New Jersey’s youth so that each statesman may become a lifelong leader of character committed to service, respect, and Americanism.
Together, all of the delegates form the mythical "51st" state of the union each year, where they elect their own local, state, and national representatives. Activities at ALJBS include legislative sessions, general assemblies, court proceedings, athletics, band, and career seminars, among many others.
All expenses are typically donated by a sponsoring American Legion Post, a local business, or a community-based organization.
Since 1946, approximately 55,000 New Jersey rising-seniors in high school have attended ALJBS tuition-free.
More than 170 former statesmen, Legionnaires, and community leaders donate their time to make ALJBS one of the most worthwhile weeks of every statesman’s life.
Notable former statesmen include: New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, United States Senator Bob Menendez, Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito, Newark, NJ Mayor Cory Booker, and many others.
