Supporting Young Girls

Dream It, Be It: Career Support for Girls gives girls the tools they need to achieve their education and career goals, empowering them to break cycles of poverty, violence, and abuse. Dream It, Be It targets girls in secondary school who face obstacles to their future success. It provides girls with access to professional role models, career education and the resources to live their dreams. Soroptimist clubs work in partnership with girls in small groups or a conference setting to provide them with the information and resources they want and need to be successful. The topics covered include career opportunities, setting and achieving goals, overcoming obstacles to success and how to move forward after setbacks or failures.

Get Real Academy: A Dream It, Be It Program

 

Open to senior high school girls of Contra Costa County, CA
Get Real Academy 2020 took place in March at the Concord Hilton Hotel with a record attendance of 200 senior high school girls. Six Soroptimist clubs work all year long planning and fundraising to produce this one day life-skills conference. The young ladies take part in mock interviews, job skills training, and financial, health and violence workshops. We are not sure what the program will look like for 2021 but you can count on the Soroptimist to find a way to keep this program going.
Stay tuned for more information as the year develops.
