American Auxiliary
Keystone Girls State is possible due to the financial support from the American Legion Auxiliary units across Pennsylvania, the generous support of the Pennsylvania American Legion family, and generous donors like you. This support allows the program to be offered to all students regardless of their financial situation. It costs $400 per student for instruction and amenities throughout the week. It is through your kindness and generosity that Keystone Girls State remains an accessible program to all young women who want to participate.
