Each program is free and is a week-long experience of citizenship training in which the citizens (students) form a county and municipal governments and a mythical 51st state.

They also form a band, militia, and police force, participate in athletic activities; and most importantly, learn hands-on government by forming political parties and running for city, county and state elective offices. The programs have many well-known alumnus, including Tom Brokaw, and are often referred to as “A Week That Shapes a Lifetime.” For more information:
