Learn Why Nevada Boys' State is your premier Civic Leadership Conference
Nevada Boys State (NBS) is a seven-day hands on leadership experience. The program draws together the best and brightest high school juniors to form a mock state that includes mock cities, elections, courts and government branches. As a recent graduate said, "The program was phenomenal. I had the time of my life in just one week and made so many friends. I feel that I have a much greater understanding of what it means to lead and American politics."
