“They say it's a life-changing experience, and every single attendee we spoke with couldn't agree more. Civics and companionship are two components of this weeklong gathering. They learn how our government works and the value of being involved.”

A Week to Change a Lifetime
This upcoming June, Badger Boys State will be holding its 83rd session. We are excited to welcome hundreds of young leaders from across Wisconsin to the UW-Eau Claire campus for a life-changing experience.
Upon arriving, participants become citizens of one of 27 cities and one of 9 counties. Citizens are tasked with electing public officials at the city, county, and state levels and governing effectively throughout the session.
Through this process, young leaders not only learn the fundamentals of civics, but also develop the interpersonal skills and confidence necessary for the next generation of leaders to feel empowered to be leaders in their local communities.
