Most sessions are held once a month for 1.5 hours at local community centers (libraries, town halls, civic centers)
Sessions are led by community and state leaders and will include fun, interactive activities. Each session will include a mini lesson plan and a takeaway message.
Each January girls begin to prepare their campaign for “Ms President US” (their town) using their choice of media or art and addressing at least 1 issue (school start time, anti-bullying, etc.).
Participants enjoy a field trip to the state capitol where they meet with legislative leaders, see the house chambers and court, and take a League of Women Voters tour.
In the final session girls will give their campaign speech and show their display/presentation.
The girl with the top score among all the ballots submitted will be elected Ms President US of their town.
Ms President US will “hold office” for 1 year until the next girl is elected. During her “administration” Ms President US will be invited to attend, participate and/or speak at local community events.
