Men still vastly outnumber women in the halls of power. Let’s close that gender gap! This webinar will explain how AAUW branches can offer the new, free program developed by AAUW California for junior and senior high school girls to expose them to careers in public service and elected office. Starting in January and conducted through five virtual two-hour sessions, the activities will be engaging, interactive, and

inspirational.

 

Gov Trek is a virtual statewide program for junior and senior girls attending a California public, private, home, or continuation high school. It is designed to elevate a new generation to pursue careers in public service and elected office.

​

Over five two-hour sessions, students will engage in interactive and inspiring activities with exposure to women legislators, career options, and the inner workings of a political campaign. The program will culminate in a group competition to create a realistic campaign simulation.
