I bought one day camp that was rescheduled as 'all of them got sick from COVID'. No replies to emails sent for refunds. I have read similar experiences here and I believe this could be a scam initiative.
We met with Kimberly Mitchem Rasmussen to host a meeting for GIP which we did at our hotel. The cc was declining for payment and we have continued to email with Kimberly and her colleague Liz (Elizabeth) they keep saying to try the cc. They are not paying, I have asked for them to call me, they have not, have tried calling them and the numbers don't work. This is a TOTAL SCAM! Kimberly has read my emails and chooses not to reply.

My girls learned more at the one day Atlanta event than in a semester civics. Excellent workbook and knowledgeable instructors who actually work on Capitol Hill. My girls were mesmerized that young women like them are working in politics. Great job Girls in Politics, mission accomplished!
Paid for my daughter's camp that has been cancelled. They promised to refund in full but suddenly the whole team got sick and they just feed me with constant excuses. They also blocked me on FB and don't show my comments. Scammers!
My wife signed me and my daughter up for the Daughter/Father camp. It was a perfect day. She can't wait to share all she has learned with family this Thanksgiving. After getting a 'fundraising' call from my daughter/candidate, my brother-in-law decided to attend the Father's Day program with his girls next year. We highly recommend this program and thanks Girls in Politics for including us dads.
Signed, Proud Dad of a future President
Australians please be aware that this organisation is no longer as it used to be. They take money, don't provide services and just feed you with promises to refund. Making money using children is a terrible thing to do. This company was reported to the Fair Trade in Australia and similar US organisation.
Like others, our event was cancelled and GIP has been giving me the run around for six months. These folks are unethical and do everything possible to avoid refunding clients $ when events are cancelled. At some point, I will make public the many emails they sent promising the check is in the mail or it is PayPal's fault. Etc. Etc.
As a fourth grade teacher, I asked Ms. Kimberly Mitchem -Rasmussen to present to my class about how our government works. Specifically how voting works, choosing a candidate, campaigning among other topics. My students were so engaged with the way she presented the material. They gain total understanding of our voting system, but most importantly, they understood that every vote counts.
Overall my experience having Ms. Rasmussen as a guess speaker in my class was not only educational, but inspirational. Many of my girls develop a sense of voice and became more actively involved in the class.
Thank you again for such a wonderful presentation.
I cannot say how much my daughter and I love this initiative, and she always talks about how attending Camp Congress 2017 was one of her best memories. And because of that her younger sisters are looking forward to attending when they are old enough. You will always have faithful supporters in this family. And we look forward to Camp CEO in 2020
I cannot recommend these camps highly enough! My daughter was lucky enough to participate in one of the Girls in Politics camps and got to build a campaign, plan a platform to run on, even make those uncomfortable calls requesting campaign funding. These invaluable skills must be taught and the earlier, the better! In the currently polarized political climate, having a real understanding of our political systems is critical for being part of a democracy and knowing how to effect the change that is important to you personally. Girls In Politics allows a group that is often overlooked educationally to be the focus, empowering girls to see their value, their worth and their power. It is a critical and highly effective addition to girls' education. I wish it could be a required part of the curriculum!
