Ms President US - Enrollment Open!
Girls entering grades 4th to 8th in September are invited to enroll in the Ms President US program. The mission of Ms President US is to inspire and prepare girls to aim for the highest civic leadership positions and to know that they can achieve them.
The program accomplishes this by introducing the girls to students and women who are leaders in their community, state, and on a national level. The girls then have a chance to interact with the leaders, and engage in activities that help them develop their own leadership skills. Each session is facilitated by High School girls who serve as Mentors throughout the program.
Session topics include:
- Civic Leadership / Public Service
- Meet & Greet Local, State, and Federal Leaders
- Women’s History and Leadership
- Public Speaking & Debate
- Communications & Media
- State Capitol Visit
The program culminates in a campaign and election whereby participants have the opportunity to create their own campaign and run for “Ms President US” of their town. The winner is invited to appearances throughout the year. The 2018 winners both continue to pursue their campaign topics – Brianna Razeq (age 11, Ms President US of Danbury) has met with her State Representative, Michael Ferguson, to launch an anti-bullying initiative. Hersha Chauhan (age 13, Ms President US of Ridgefield) held a “Time off Technology” event at the Boys and Girls Club to raise awareness to the mental health perils of excess time on technology.
High School girls with leadership experience are encouraged to apply to be Mentors. Visit the Mentor page of the website to learn more.
