Young Women’s Leadership Conference
The Young Women’s Leadership Conference is designed for high school girls in California who have leadership potential and an interest in politics and civic engagement. Young women will meet with and learn from women elected officials and professionals and learn valuable communication and relationship-building skills.
Inside Iowa Project
The Inside Iowa Project began with a series of workshops to educate selected students on Iowa’s unique significance in presidential races. Students then traveled to Iowa to pursue an internship with a political campaign or political party of their choosing. The year-long program culminated with a trip to Des Moines, Iowa allowing students the opportunity to observe the Iowa caucus process first-hand.
