Congressional Young Women’s Leadership Program for PWC area teens this summer

Barbara Comstock, US Representative for the 10th District, has announced an opportunity for young women currently enrolled in middle school and high school to participate in the 10th Congressional District Young Women Leadership Program. Deadline for applying is April 30.

This program provides an opportunity for young women to meet and interact with women who hold leadership roles and have built successful careers in government, business, medicine, media relations and other professions.  Consider it a Lean In circle: junior edition. 

This unique, bipartisan program is designed to teach young women about leadership and the wide range of careers they may pursue in government or the private sector. 

Participants will have the opportunity to engage with their peers and special guests in candid, roundtable discussions while sharing insights, advice, and stories. 

They will also learn about career opportunities in various fields, the legislative process, develop their leadership skills, identify their strengths, and practice effective communication with others to inspire their educational and career goals.

The program is scheduled to begin in June and will continue through the end of August.  There will be periodic events, about two to four a month, throughout the 10th Congressional District and at the U.S. Capitol.
