Ms President US: A Girls' Civics Leadership Program
Open Enrollment for girls in 4th-8th grades.
Girls and women make up more than half of the US population, yet only 1 in 4 members of Congress is female.
Learn how YOU can make a difference!
Girls entering grades 4th to 8th are invited to enroll in Ms President US, a civic leadership program that introduces participants to women who are leaders at the local, state and national level. Girls in the program contribute to the discussions and participate in fun, interactive activities that help them develop their own civic leadership skills -- including public speaking and debate training. The program culminates in a campaign and election where all the girls are encouraged to "run for office" themselves -- the winner is recognized by their town's mayor (or First Selectman] and acts as Ms President US [of their town] for a year.
