Registration for the 2025 Session will open February 2025

The 2025 Session of ALA Alabama Girls State will be held on the campus of The University of Alabama June 1-6, 2025. 
Steps for registration:

1. ​A local ALA Unit (if present) works with the local high school to select that high school's delegate to ALA Alabama Girls State. This process varies by unit and school. For questions related to the selections process, please reach out to the individual schools for more information.
2. The registration form is password protected and an email will be sent out to high school counselors with the password on February 14, 2025. The American Legion Auxiliary units receive the password on January 31, 2025.
3. The local coordinator for ALA Alabama Girls State selection (THIS PERSON MUST BE A REPRESENTATIVE OF THE AMERICAN LEGION AUXILIARY, OR A FACULTY/ STAFF MEMBER OF THE HIGH SCHOOL) completes the online registration form for the delegate selected to represent the high school. Please note it is imperative to have a correct delegate and parent/guardian email for registration. The delegate email MUST be the one she receives on her phone. 
   
4. Once the registration form is submitted, three automatic emails will go out.  The emails will be:

• To the person who was responsible for submitting the form (High School Counselor or American Legion Auxiliary Representative) confirming receipt of registration.
• The delegate whose confirmation email will require her to fill out an additional form and a form for the parents/guardians.
• The person responsible for payment, who will receive an INVOICE.  If they have paid by credit card, they can ignore the invoice.

These emails may be identified by their email server as spam/junk mail.  If they do not receive the email, please have them check their spam/junk mail.​​
