ALA has several youth programs, all which center around their Mission, Purposes and Values. However, ALA Magnolia Girls State is one of these programs where selection and participation is one of prestige and honor. This year, ALA Magnolia Girls State is celebrating its 76th year of participation in this annual event where selected delegates from all over the Magnolia State will spend one week on campus of the University of Mississippi in June 2024. ALA Magnolia Girls State participation is designed to provide our delegates with leadership skills needed to aid in life as a productive part of their chosen communities. Some of the skills learned include participation in a mock government complete with debates, elections, making laws, and other skills needed from a democratic style government such as journalism and entertainment activities.
