Become an expert on your government and the roles of the officials you'll help elect.

Ambassadors become informed about their government and public officials they may choose to support once they're able to vote. Girls are encouraged to, if possible, visit Washington, DC, to meet their U.S. representative or senator, or set up an appointment with their local state office. They also dive into topics like political parties, gerrymandering, lobbying, voter turnout, and the electoral college.
