SPEAK MENTORSHIP SPEAK MENTORSHIP

SPEAK Mentorship develops the social and cultural capital of youth to become leaders in the workforce.

Started in 2015, SPEAK started with the vision of a more diverse future workforce with more women of color of all backgrounds in positions of power across a variety of careers. SPEAK ensures girls get a fair chance of pursuing college and careers of their choice.

Through SPEAK programs, girls:

• gain knowledge and experience with tech platforms and tools

• develop a peer community and safe space within schools through SPEAK Chapter Clubs, making new friends, finding a sense of belonging, and increasing confidence and self-esteem

• meet with multiple culturally responsive mentors to learn about their own cultures and other cultures, increasing their self-awareness, awareness of others, and developing their identity

• learn new career specific skills, about career ecosystems, and pursue civic engagement opportunities through mentors

• increase academic and social emotional skills, developing a greater sense of school engagement as mentoring sessions often tie into school activities
