Where Your Gift Goes

Selective by design. Run by the Statesmen themselves.

Texas Boys State is among the most respected and selective citizenship programs in the state — every Statesman earns his nomination. Your gift keeps the program strong for the next class, and the one after that.

The Program

The week of self-government itself — the elections, the legislature, the courts, run in full.

The Reach

More Texas schools and counties every year, so the next class looks like the whole state.

The Return

Statesmen who come back to staff and mentor — the flywheel your gift keeps turning.
