KINGMAN – Are you a high school girl interested in going to college? Do you want guidance on how to set and achieve your career goals? Would you like access to professional role models and mentors? Get the resources you need to plan your future through the Soroptimist Dream It, Be It: Career Support for Girls program, which aims to help girls grow to be strong, successful and happy adults.
Soroptimist International of Kingman will host a day-long conference for 8th – 12th grade girls, where they will learnabout career opportunities, setting and achieving goals, and overcoming obstacles to success. The Dream It, Be It event will take place on April 6 at Kingman Academy of Learning High School, from 7:45 am to 4:00pm. Girls and their parents/guardians can learn more and sign up for the program by https://fs17.formsite.com/IAEHj6/sscpdlzcat/index or contacting Veronica Mascarello, fronica2@gmail.com, 928-303-4129.
Throughout the day, the girls will attend sessions based on the following topics:
• Discovering your dreams
• Exploring careers
• Creating achievable goals
• Rising above obstacles
• Turning failure into success
• Balancing your stress
• Putting dreams into action
“Because we don’t expect that all girls will know what they want to do for the rest of their lives and we also know that plans change, the skills developed through the day can be applied to any goals the girls identify throughout their education and careers,” said Tabitha Neal. “The girls will also have the opportunity to speak with working women and perhaps arrange a mentorship with a woman whose career interests them.”
In addition to learning important life skills, the girls will also leave with a variety of other resources and fun items, including a dream journal for keeping track of their goals and a participation certificate (along with a Dream It Be It shirt and backpack).
