I attended this program as a youth and returned as a staffer.
While it is hard to communicate the benefits of this one week program, one of the easiest things to say about Boys' State is that it is fun. You'll learn a lot about how your state and local government work, compete against your peers and other teams and realize you can do more than you thought was possible.
I highly recommend this program to anyone who is serious about making meaningful improvements to their future and life or who wants to have a fun week away from home at UNR.
