The LWV of Camden County, NJ.

The LWV of Camden County, NJ, developed a local version of an LWVEF workshop, "Running and Winning," and trained over 200 high school girls over four years. Workshop participants interview female elected officials about public service, learn the history of women in politics and explore their own leadership potential in a simulated campaign exercise. In post-work-shop feedback, the students reported that they now know much more about the importance of being involved in politics and feel more confident in their ability to take stands on issues. By collaborating with members of the American Association of University Women, Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Alumnae and the Chinese Women's Association, the League extended its out-reach. In addition, the League presented its "How-To" manual to the Denver and the Greater Tucson Area LWVs, and is prepared now to share the manual with other Leagues. The cost is $20, including mailing.
