Know a girl who could use a running start?

Applications for the 2010 Young Women’s Political Leadership Retreat are now available on the Running Start Web site at www.runningstartonline.org.

Running Start is a nonprofit organization dedicated to inspiring young women and girls to run for political office. Its upcoming Young Women’s Political Leadership Program will take place July 19 to 24 in Washington, D.C.

Participants will attend workshops led by experts in the field on public speaking, debate, messaging, networking, on-camera media training and advocacy. Female candidates and elected officials will talk with the girls about what it is like to run for office, how to get involved on a local level and why they feel it is important to get more women elected.

Applications for admittance to the program are due by Feb. 16.
