DemocraShe Clubs!
DemocraShe Clubs are student-led, nonpartisan clubs in high schools, colleges and universities, where young women can gather to develop valuable leadership and resilience skills, discuss events in the news and in their own lives, advocate for issues they’re passionate about, organize service and civic events in their school or community, and most importantly, support each other and form a powerful sisterhood!
