The American Legion Auxiliary is an organization that provides women of all ages, Junior and adult members, the opportunity to develop and improve their leadership skills. Our organization depends upon an ever-emerging stream of competent new leaders, trained and guided by experienced ones, to assume leadership within the Auxiliary and advance its mission long into the future.

The Auxiliary offers a variety of opportunities for members to serve in leadership roles … from chairing a short-term community service project at the local Unit level to running for a national office.

Leadership Purpose Statement:

The American Legion Auxiliary Leadership Program helps develop and prepare knowledgeable and capable leaders to carry on the growth and success of the Auxiliary by promoting activities and resources that educate, motivate, and mentor members of all ages and at all levels within the organization.

Here in Florida:

Members of the American Legion Auxiliary in the Department of Florida believe that we are all leaders to some degree. We all have knowledge that we can share with each other … and we all must share that knowledge … thus enabling us to become better, more enlightened members.

Knowledgeable instructors travel to the 16 Districts and present Auxiliary Basic Concept Schools (aka ABC Schools). ABC Schools educate members about the basics of the American Legion Auxiliary: Make-up of the Auxiliary (National, Department, Districts, Units), who we are and what we do, who we do it for, the different programs, duties of officers; protocol, various levels of trainings available from the local to the national levels, and where to find the answers needed to do the job to the best of our ability.

Mentor and groom members to excel in their current roles while preparing to advance to higher levels within the organization; developing the leader within.
