What is "girlgov"

Every year, around 100 girls travel to the State capitol building of Pennsylvania in Harrisburg. There, these girls have the chance to shadow and lobby their state representatives. This is Girlgov. The goal for the girls is to increase civic engagement and the goal for the state is to increase political representation among women and decrease the gender disparity with the state House of Representatives and the Senate. Since its start Girlgov has served over 500 girls over the years. It is one of the Women and Girls Foundation's core projects.
