Dear Parent/Guardian,
We’re excited your daughter is considering participating in Dream it, Be It: Career Support for Girls Conference! Here are some things you should know:
The mentoring conference will take place via the online platform Zoom on April 17, 2021 from 10:00am – 2:00pm. The conference will be hosted by Soroptimist International of Modesto North working with young girls attending Downey High School.
Dream It, Be It is a program of Soroptimist International of the Americas. Soroptimist is a global women’s organization whose members volunteer to improve the lives of women and girls through programs leading to social and economic empowerment. Approximately 33,000 Soroptimists in 20 countries and territories support community–based and global projects benefiting women and girls. The organization is particularly concerned with providing women and girls with access to education.
Designed specifically for girls in high school, Dream It, Be It provides participants with career support and guidance. Through education and access to role models, the program aims to empower girls (just like your daughter!) to pursue career goals and reach their full potential. In seven sessions, your daughter will learn about career opportunities, setting and achieving goals, overcoming obstacles to success, and moving forward after setbacks. Your daughter will have the opportunity to work closely with Soroptimist members who are professional and respected women in your community who work together on projects that benefit women and girls. Soroptimist will collaborate with other community members to lead girls through activities that will help them develop skills relevant to whatever career they choose to pursue.
We know that your daughter probably has a lot of responsibilities at school and at home. We believe Dream It, Be It is worthwhile your daughters future success. Our club members will also make every effort to keep your daughter safe. Our members must meet any legal requirements for working with children in our state or country and are prepared to give your daughter the best and safest experience possible.
We hope you’ll consider giving your daughter permission to take part in Dream It, Be It. Please sign the attached forms and complete the online registration process.
The deadline to register online is Friday April 2, 2021
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Charmaine Anderson 209-988-8215.
Sincerely,
Soroptimist International of Modesto North
