A group of 37 students from the the People's Republic of China will arrive in Missouri in mid-June to take part in a youth leadership program that has produced prominent leaders for more than 70 years.

This international component to the Missouri Boys State and Missouri Girls State programs is called the US-China Youth Leadership Exchange. It is led by the Midwest US China Association.
