Though my daughter had some knowledge of the systems of government, this experience blew her away. The field trips to the places where the systems come to life were invaluable and have created lasting impressions about her roll in the society. The tours to sites relevant to individual contributors to the shaping of this nation were a welcome and pleasant surprise. Overall a great experience.
I decided to give my sister a break and take the girls to the city for the day. I found out about this program and thought it would be good to have an educational and fun day. The girls LOVED it and being in the city with auntie all day. I would highly recommend it and an introduction to what politics is an more importantly global politics. Cheers to Ms. Mitchem, the founder, great idea!
My son participated in the boys' version of Girls in Politics and had a great time. The boys got chance to have interesting lectures and activities. They also got an opportunity to see Congress in action.
Girls in Politics promised me a refund for a camp they canceled last summer. I have been asking for my promised refund of over $700 for 5 months and all I get are excuses or ignored. Horrible customer service.
We highly recommend these camps for all girls considering today's political climate! My daughters and my nieces have attended three different Girls in Politics Initiative camps. I wanted my girls to understand the political process and they learned more than we could have imagined. I've attended political trainings for women and not learned the information included the Girls in Politics Initiative workbooks. Our Girl Scout troop will be hosting a Girls in Politics private event in the spring of 2020.
My daughter was registered for a Girl in Politics workshop in October of 2019 in Toronto, Canada, it was cancelled 2 days before. I have emailed and called Girls in Politics several times, and I am still waiting for my money back. It is now January 2020.
My daughter loves this program. She is 11 years old, was elected Vice President and is inspired to start a government club at school. The instructors are thorough, knowledgeable and kind.
GIP is a wonderful civics and government program that my 11yo and 14yo daughters loved. I wish that I had been able to attend a class like this when I was younger. The girls now know they can be politicians and they know how to make it happen. Kudos to Girls in Politics!
My group scheduled a workshop with Girls in Politics in Jan 2020, did all the leg work to register 40 participants (including coordinating carpools) who were looking forward to the workshop, and it was cancelled THREE HOURS BEFORE by the organizers. After 6 months of wasted time attempting to get my promised refund from the company, it was only through my credit card company that I got my money back. This is a pattern by the organization -- look at all the similar reviews on this site and the DC Better Business Bureau with evidence of the same behavior.
Love the Mini Camp Congress class for my 6 year old twins. The girls learned so much and so did I. We are taking the next class offered.

Thank you for posting the review. We will investigate and be sure the refund is processed. We'd love you to join us for our next Toronto camp on April 25. The tickets would be complimentary.
Warmest Regards,
