⚔️ CHARACTER CREATION SCREEN: LOADING...

You've been playing on tutorial mode long enough. Time to spec your build for the real world. 🎮

At Evergreen Boys & Girls State, juniors get one week to level up the stats that actually matter:
🛡️ +10 Confidence - Give speeches, run campaigns, lead a room
🗡️ +10 Communication - Debate ideas, persuade people, hold your ground
🧠 +10 Critical Thinking - Solve real problems under real pressure
❤️ +10 Empathy - Work with people who don't think like you
📜 +10 Civic Knowledge - Learn how government actually works (not the textbook version)
🤝 +10 Network - Unlock 100+ allies from across Washington

This isn't a side quest. You'll campaign for office, build political parties, draft laws, and run a mock city, county, and state from scratch. By the end of the week, your character sheet looks completely different, and so does your real life.

📆 When: June 21–27, 2026
📍 Where: Warm Beach Conference Center, Stanwood, WA
🎓 Who: Any Washington high school junior (class of 2027)
⏰ Applications close: June 15, 2026

📣 Hey Washington juniors! Forget everything you think you know about civics class.

Evergreen Boys & Girls State is NOT a week of lectures. It's a learn-by-doing leadership experience where you and 100+ other juniors from across the state actually run things. You'll campaign for office, form political parties, write and pass real laws, and build a working city, county, and state from the ground up. One morning you might be mayor. By the afternoon, you could be debating your party's platform.

🌲 When: June 21–27, 2026
📍 Where: Warm Beach Conference Center, Stanwood, WA
🎓 Who: Any current high school junior (class of 2027) in Washington
⏰ Apply by: June 15, 2026

No political experience required. No "born leader" badge needed. Just bring curiosity and the willingness to jump in. You'll walk away with real leadership skills, scholarship opportunities, something awesome for your college apps, and friends from all over the state.

Cost shouldn't stop you either. Financial aid is available up to the full program cost.

Here's what actually happens at Evergreen Boys & Girls State - and why it's unlike anything else available to high school juniors in Washington: Day 1: Students are divided into cities and counties. Organizing begins & campaigns launch. Days 2–4: Political Parties are formed. Platforms are drafted. Students run for city, county, and state offices. A governor is elected. Days 5–6: Statewide government is seated. Mock trials begin. Legislative sessions begin. Bills are introduced, debated, and voted on. Day 7: Family Day & Award Ceremonies conclude the week. And much, much more!

Every student plays an active role. There are no spectators. The program is designed to be challenging, competitive, and deeply collaborative - because that's how real civic life works. Students leave with more than a certificate. They leave with real-world skills: how to persuade, how to lead, how to lose graciously, and how to build coalitions across differences. This is civics education as it was meant to be experienced.

Applications open now. Deadline: June 15. → ebgs-wa.org
