The American Legion produces Boys State each year, along with the assistance of dozens of volunteers – most of them former Boys State citizens. The staff oversees the curriculum, presides over debates, umpires sports, monitors elections, and maintains the daily order of the program. They are college and graduate students, attorneys, education professionals, investment advisors, accountants, teachers, economists, and business people of many disciplines, all volunteering their time to give back what Boys State provided them.
