Civics in Action
American Legion Post 353 is accepting applications from Louisville juniors in high school to attend this summer's Cornhusker Boys' State session. This one-week, immersive program teaches leadership skills in a government setting. Participants will set up their own community, county and state governments and court systems and learn how Nebraska government works by doing those Nebraska government jobs.
​
This program gives young men heading into their senior year of high school tools to take into their college and professional lives that cannot be emulated anywhere else.
