National Presidents Project

2023-2024

ALA National President Lisa Williamson will be going above and beyond in her role as national president, by not only helping to raise awareness about the Be the One initiative,

but also to raise funds for the American Legion Auxiliary’s greatest need — Spirit of Youth (SOY) Scholarships.

Beginning in fiscal year 2024, the ALA will increase the number of SOY scholarships by 49, bringing the total number of scholarships awarded to 67. This will bring the total amount awarded to $100,000, the most the Auxiliary has ever awarded for SOY scholarships.

With your help, the ALA will help more students fulfill their educational pursuits in preparation to lead in the future.
