Who we are

The Junior State of America is a student-run organization whose purpose is to "help high school students acquire leadership skills and the knowledge necessary to be effective citizens and voters." Our members participate in debates, fun activities, and various conventions hosted by the JSA organization.

Come, experience what JSA has to offer, and discover the inner workings of our great nation. We encourage you to answer the clarion call of Democracy and rise to combat the raging hordes of political apathy. Let us speak up and address the pressing issues of our generation. Let us learn about the government and the political institutions that drive our nation. Finally, let us understand that Democracy itself is not a spectator sport.

Mini-con Mania!

Hi, JSAers!

Between the huge NorCal conventions (Fall State, Winter Congress, Spring State), various high school JSA chapters hold one-day mini-conventions. They are a great way to remain engaged in JSA, hear keynote speakers, and get involved in some exciting debates and thought talks! Here are the information about the three spring mini-cons:
