LWVW is hosting its annual, unique one-day workshop to bring together female-identifying high school sophomores, juniors, and seniors from high schools across Westchester County for an active and interactive political experience. The program is designed to support students’ aspirations to seek public office, develop their leadership potential, and, increase gender parity in government institutions. The event offers opportunities to learn from elected officials’ experiences and practical application. Attendees may also register or pre-register to vote on site.

At last year’s event:

Elected officials provided a brief recap as to how they became involved in politics.

Small teams of students interviewed elected officials in greater depth regarding the seeking and holding of public office.

Student teams designed a slogan, and wrote and delivered meaningful campaign speeches on an issue selected from a curated list.

For more information on the program, contact lwvwrunandwin@gmail.com.

LWVW appreciates NY Community Trust’s continued support and generous grant that helps defray the costs of hosting this important event.
