Apply now for 10th District Young Women Leadership Program this summer

The office of Congresswoman Barbara Comstock (VA-10) now is accepting applications for the 10th Congressional District Young Women Leadership Program in summer 2017.

This program provides young women enrolled in middle school and high school the opportunity to meet and interact with women in leadership positions in government, medicine, technology, philanthropy, business, and more.  Young women will be able to learn about career opportunities in various fields, learn about the legislative process, develop their leadership skills, identify their strengths and interests, and practice effective communication with others to help inform their future educational and career goals.

Comstock was quoted as saying in a press release, “This program motivates young women to come together and cultivate their own unique experiences as they develop into the next generation of women leaders.  I am looking forward to meeting this year’s class of young women.”

This program is scheduled to begin mid-June and will continue through the end of August. There will be 2-4 events a month throughout the 10th Congressional District and at the U.S. Capitol that aim to provide middle school and high school students access to women leaders. The young women will also have the opportunity to participate in educational and informative seminars that will introduce them to a variety of careers in the public and private sectors.
