Girl Gov Summer Camp

The campaign highlighted the gaps in the Allegheny county schools due to the lack of representation of diverse groups in school and the prejudice that exists in the classrooms because of that. The students analyzed the data and suggested recommendations to address the lack of representation being additional trainings for teachers employed at school.
