Meet Our Team
The heart of ALA Missouri Girls State is our exceptional team of volunteers—ALA members, educators, business leaders, lawyers, government officials, military members, moms, and proud alumnae—who generously give their time to empower the next generation of leaders. Serving in roles such as city and county counselors, instructors, administration, and operational support, our staff brings a wide range of real-world experience to the program. United by a shared passion for leadership, civic engagement, and public service, they create an inspiring, supportive environment that makes the ALA MGS experience both meaningful and unforgettable.
