Government by Girls (GbyG)
Social justice: the view that everyone deserves equal economic, political and social rights and opportunities
GbyG is a civic program that educates girls on the importance and role of our government and prepares them for moral and political leadership.
Students will have the opportunity to be mentored by, work or volunteer for, and connect with political and judicial leaders of the community. They will learn firsthand the processes that adopt laws and rules into government and the abilities and rights of this country's citizens.
Participating Schools
Each school participating in the program will host an annual student government body by grade. Students will learn the following:
