DREAM IT, BE IT: Career Support For Girls
|
Giving girls the tools they need to achieve their education and career goals, empowering them to break cycles of poverty, violence, and abuse.
Conference Topics:
What We Do Although all girls face barriers because of their gender, we prioritize working with girls who have additional obstacles including poverty, unstable home lives, living in foster care, or teen motherhood. Soroptimist members and other leaders in our community work with the girls in a conference setting to provide them with the information and resources they want and need to be successful. Why We Do It Far too many girls face barriers on the pathway to achieving their dreams. Obstacles such as poverty, teen dating violence, and teen pregnancy can get in the way of a girl's ability to make her dreams a reality. Dream It, Be It equips girls to overcome their obstacles, set goals, and head towards success. By reaching girls while they are still young, we not only can help them stay healthy and safe in t he short term, but we can reduce the number of women in crisis in the future. Putting them on a path will help them realize their dreams. |
