Every year, our participants build the skills, knowledge, and confidence for taking action and leadership in their communities and Maine. Girls’ Day has given young girls and gender-expansive people the resources to work toward improving their communities in Maine.

MWLEF invites you to support the empowerment of 100 8th grade students by sponsoring the 29th year of this beloved program. We hope you will join us as we welcome another cohort of participants who will become the future of Maine.

Girls’ Day participants from every county in Maine will spend a month participating in online sessions and an in-person day at the State House that include panels, small group sessions, workshops, and mock committee hearings with policymakers, lobbyists, and legislators.

To learn more about this beloved program’s most recent results, see our 2023 Girls' Day at the State House & Youth Policy Leadership Forum Report.

We also plan additional in-person events including an afternoon at the Blaine House for Tea with the Governor in the spring. All alumni are invited to participate. Look out for the Save the Date after March!

Thank you for considering sponsoring youth leadership development and education on public policy!

“Now I know how to help change policies, laws, and systems in my own community, in Maine, or in the world.”
