Our volunteers will visit middle schools and high schools to inspire students by simply sharing their personal narrative. The narrative will feature the various obstacles & successes you encountered throughout your educational career.
Our team will support you with developing your narrative and scheduling presentation(s) that align with your schedule. No public speaking experience needed, but must be willing to be vulnerable in front of an audience.
