Our Events
Career and Leadership Summit for High School Girls provides young women with an immersive experience spending the day with girls and women who are just like them. Attendees are introduced to 20+ career paths and learn skill sets necessary for success in school, career and life. Through the talks and breakout sessions, they are introduced to the ways to navigate the world around them so that they can accomplish their goals. They have the opportunity to not only learn about these career possibilities that exist but, more importantly, they are able to see themselves in those roles because they are seeing/meeting/talking with the women in those careers that look like them.

Participants gain greater control in selecting their own mentor and learn the value of having multiple mentors for specific purposes.
