LWVW is hosting its anual, 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 goal is to support our young participants’ aspirations to serve in public office, develop their leadership potential, and, at the same time, help our government institutions increase gender parity. The program 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.
