The program is provided at no cost to participants or to District schools. In 1998, nearly 80 young women from 15 public schools participated in the program. This six-month public policy training program is designed to develop and expand women's leadership skills in effecting change in public policy. This unique learning opportunity helps women improve leadership and critical thinking skills, take risks and adapt to new situations. The Women in Leadership program includes a comprehensive curriculum and an interactive format.
Participants also produce an action-oriented proposal to solve a public policy problem.
