Represent Nevada on the National Stage: Boys Nation
Each year, two outstanding delegates from Nevada Boys State are selected to represent our state at Boys Nation—an elite, week-long leadership and civic engagement program held in Washington, D.C., shortly after the conclusion of Boys State.
Unlike the many elected positions at Nevada Boys State, every participant at Boys Nation assumes the prestigious role of Senator. In this role, they introduce and debate legislation, form committees, and gain hands-on experience with the legislative process—this time, at the federal level.
Throughout the week, Boys Nation Senators:
-
Draft and debate national legislation.
-
Build lasting connections with fellow leaders from across the country.
-
Attend exclusive talks with experienced legislators, lobbyists, and policy experts.
Beyond the chamber, Senators visit historic and symbolic sites including the U.S. Capitol, Arlington National Cemetery, and various national memorials. Delegates also have the opportunity to meet with members of Congress from their home state.
Boys Nation is a prestigious, all-expenses-paid experience—open to just two delegates from Nevada each year. Nevada Boys State ‘s selection process is led by Dillon Moss, one of Nevada’s Boys Nation Senators from 2022, who now serves as Chair of Boys Nation Affairs for Nevada Boys State. Dillon and our staff are dedicated to selecting two delegates who will represent Nevada with integrity, leadership, and pride on the national stage.
Several staff members are proud Boys Nation alumni, and many former participants have gone on to serve in public office, lead major organizations, and shape the future of our communities.
