Ms President US 2024-25 Chapters Enrolling!

Join fellow students in 4th-8th grade to meet local, state, and federal female leaders and learn how our government works. The mission of Ms President US is to motivate and prepare girls to aim for the highest civic leadership positions and to know they can achieve them. As Ridgefield's First Selectman, Rudy Marconi, stated, "Ms President US fills a niche that is very important - we need to have more women involved in politics, and this is a great foundation, building skills." The program accomplishes this by introducing the girls to students and women who are leaders in their community, state, and on a national level. The girls then have a chance to interact with the leaders, and engage in activities that help them develop their own leadership skills. Each session is facilitated by high school girls who serve as mentors throughout the program. Session topics include: Civic Leadership / Public Service Meet & Greet Local, State, and Federal Leaders Self-Confidence and Leadership Public Speaking & Debate Communications & Media State Capitol Visit The program culminates in a campaign and election whereby participants have the opportunity to create their own campaign (or work on another participant's campaign) and run for “Ms President US” of their town. The winner is invited to appearances throughout the year, and works with town leaders (announcing the start of races, giving speeches at events, etc.). The sessions will be held between September and April. In addition, there is a field trip to the State Capitol and an Election.

Enrolled Girl Scouts can earn several patches and badges for participation in the Ms President US program. High school girls with leadership experience are encouraged to apply to be mentors.
