Evergreen Boys State aims to simulate and emulate Washington State government through a fun and engaging summer program. You will have an opportunity to construct local, county and state governments. Activities include running for office, court proceedings, creating and enforcing laws, pizza parties, a talent show, celebrations, and recreational programs. You’ll hone your public speaking skills, experience how government works, get inspired by guest speakers, have fun and make new friends for life.

Due to the COVID cancellation of our 2020 session, for our 2021 session only we will accept applications to attend from High School Seniors. Seniors will be able to participate in all aspects of our state run Evergreen Boys State program; however they will not be eligible to participate in the Boys Nation program nor will they be able to apply for the Samsung Scholarship.

The ACE Mentor Program of Washington is gearing up for an exciting 2020-2021 program! The 2019-2020 school year was unlike any other and due to COVID-19, all the ACE teams suspended in-person meetings and completed their projects virtually. While we look forward to being able to meet in groups again, at this time we are committed to continuing with a virtual ACE program.

Registration is now OPEN.  Click here for instructions on how to participate.

We anticipate that this year’s program will comprise about 20 meetings, 90 minutes each, from November to May. We still anticipate teams will be centered around Seattle, Bellevue, and Tacoma, although geographic boundaries do not need to necessarily govern team assignment with a virtual program!

The Kickoff events will be team-based and virtual, held the last week of October, while the first team meetings will be in November. Register today and we will send more information about the program as it becomes available.
