Did you know that while 92% of girls believe anyone can acquire leadership skills, only 21% believe they have the qualities to be a good leader? By the time they reach adulthood, women are dramatically underrepresented in leadership roles.

Let’s change that. We’re thrilled to partner with Miss CEO for our Career Exploration Day, which will give high school girls the opportunity to:

Hear from prominent female role models in industries like tech, health care and nonprofit.
Gain insight into a variety of career paths.
Learn how to apply real-world leadership lessons to their current roles in school and extracurricular activities.
Network with mentors and fellow participants.

This event welcomes high school girls from around the Bay Area to participate. Ticket price includes admission to The Tech Interactive and access to all Girls Day events and activities. Only 100 spots available, so reserve yours now!

Financial aid is available for Title I schools. Please contact Shelby Downs at sdowns@thetech.org for more information.
