Just for teens

GIRL SCOUTS, WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE PART OF A MOCK TRIAL?

Girl Scouts will partner with the Chicago Bar Association Alliance for Women for a second presentation of Project Law Track, a program for girls in 7th grade and older who would like to learn more about careers in the legal field.

“I loved learning all about different kinds of laws and interacting with real lawyers. I thought the mock trial was amazing and I can’t wait to participate again!” - 2011 girl participant

Now is the time to submit your application for our second Project Law Track. Submission deadline is March 2, 2012. Click here for the application.

On Saturday, May 7, 2011, well-prepared Girl Scouts entered a courtroom at the United States Northern District of Illinois Court in Chicago ready to give their opening remarks, question the witnesses, analyze the facts, and reach a verdict within a reasonable doubt during a mock trial that brought the pilot to its finale. Attorneys from the Alliance for Women volunteered to assist as mentors and resources during the trial, and as the judge presiding over the proceedings, although empowered girls clearly were in charge!

Camp CEO: June 17th - 22nd

If you are age 14 or older or will be entering 9th grade in the fall, this is the perfect leadership opportunity for you ...

Discover that the women who run local companies and make important decisions every day were once teens just like you, trying to decide where to go to college and what they wanted to be.

Ask them questions as you paddle a canoe, hear their surprising stories around the campfire, and learn how the choices they made impacted their lives and contributed to their success.

In addition to powerful one-on-one sessions with these women, you'll also connect to other teen girls by participating in lots of fun camp-based activities like geocaching (high-tech scavenger hunting), swimming, team-building games, and archery.

Participate in yoga, self-defense, dressing for success, and networking workshops. Then plan and host a huge dinner party with fancy place-settings, table decorations and party food. The adult campers will participate right along with you in all these activities.

For more information, contact Aminah Abdullah at 312-416-2500, ext. 6355, or e-mail her. Applications and reference letters are due on March 2, 2012.
