Your donation enables educators to establish Career Girls Club at their schools. Over 100 educators are on the waitlist pending additional funding. In this free, 20-week school-based club, girls develop a greater understanding of career possibilities and the soft skills required for success. In each weekly session, girls explore topics and themes that pair Career Girls role model videos with a discussion-based curriculum and corresponding group activities.
Schools in the U.S. are underfunded by almost $150 billion annually.* The lack of adequate funding and resources makes it challenging for educators to provide high-quality programs of this type. In this context, it is critical to reach students at an early age to help them understand the link between doing well in school and how building on their academic achievements will allow them to shape their future. *The Century Foundation, Closing America's Education Funding Gaps, July 22, 2020.
Career Girls Clubs offer: Skill Building Career Exploration Community Participation in a Career Girls Club provides girls with a supportive community to explore careers and learn essential soft skills required for success, such as teamwork, leadership, confidence, and integrity. By making Career Girls Club free to schools, we ensure that no girl is left out.
