Who We Are
In this world of ours, the American Legion Auxiliary shines as an example of unselfish giving. With almost a million members from all walks of life, the Auxiliary administers hundreds of volunteer programs, gives tens of thousands of hours to its communities and to veterans, and raises millions of dollars to support its own programs as well as other worthwhile charities familiar to most Americans. It is all accomplished with volunteers.
The Auxiliary, organized in 1919 to assist The American Legion, is much more than the name implies. The organization has achieved its own unique identity while working side-by-side with the veterans who belong to The American Legion. Like the Legion, the Auxiliary’s interests have broadened to encompass the entire community. The American Legion Auxiliary is the world’s largest women’s patriotic service organization. Through its nearly 10,500 Units located in every state and some foreign countries, the Auxiliary embodies the spirit of America that has prevailed through war and peace. Along with The American Legion, it solidly stands behind America and her ideals.

Auxiliary Happenings
Mission Training
Auxiliary members across Arizona came together for an engaging day of Mission Training—focused on building stronger leaders and more effective Units. From officer duties and parliamentary procedures to budgeting, membership, and bylaws, attendees gained practical tools to lead with confidence.
With interactive discussions and expert instructors, the sessions offered valuable insights for both new and experienced members—all for just $10.
Mission Training has wrapped for the 2025–2026 year, but more opportunities are ahead. Be sure to check aladeptaz.org for future sessions and updates!

The American Legion Auxiliary is proud to sponsor local young women to attend American Legion Auxiliary Arizona Girls State each year. Arizona Girls State is a premier leadership and citizenship program where high school juniors spend a week learning how government works through hands-on participation in mock city, county, and state government. Delegates build leadership skills, form lifelong friendships, and gain a deeper understanding of civic responsibility and patriotism.
Girls State is an unforgettable experience that empowers young women to grow as leaders while representing their schools and communities with pride.
