I cannot recommend these camps highly enough! My daughter was lucky enough to participate in one of the Girls in Politics camps and got to build a campaign, plan a platform to run on, even make those uncomfortable calls requesting campaign funding. These invaluable skills must be taught and the earlier, the better! In the currently polarized political climate, having a real understanding of our political systems is critical for being part of a democracy and knowing how to effect the change that is important to you personally. Girls In Politics allows a group that is often overlooked educationally to be the focus, empowering girls to see their value, their worth and their power. It is a critical and highly effective addition to girls' education. I wish it could be a required part of the curriculum!
