Capitol Focus | Political Discovery

Women in Politics is the California Center's pilot Summer Institute--a thematic Civic Education program conducted once yearly in the summer months. During Women in Politics, forty or more young high school aged women from throughout California will have a chance to develop leadership skills while learning about the historical and contemporary roles of women in politics. The Institute is conducted by the Capitol Focus project, a non-partisan civic education program. For over twenty years, Capitol Focus has provided middle and high school aged youth with opportunities to study the issues, institutions and processes of California state government during three-day long programs conducted during the school year. The development of this summer institute was in response to the high level of interest in a program focusing on women, and requests that we consider developing more lengthy, thematic programs to be offered during the summer months. Past years efforts have proven highly successful and we anticipate an even more dynamic program this upcoming summer.
