Are you a young woman in grades 8-11, attending Coupeville schools (as some of these randomly-selected athletes are)? Let your voice be heard. (John Fisken photo)
Amy Briscoe wants to talk to your daughters.
She and her fellow Coupeville Soroptimists are part of a global program to help young women who face obstacles to their future success.
The program — “Dream It, Be It: Career Support for Girls” — provides girls with access to professional role models, career education and the resources necessary to accomplish their goals.
Financial backing will also be offered starting this year.
The local branch would like to set up a Girls Advisory Group with a small group of CHS students.
Plans call for two students from each of the four grades to be included in the initial group.
The Soroptimists are looking for students currently in grades 8-11, so they would all be current high schoolers next school year, when the advisory group will start meeting.
The students selected for the group will help the Soroptimists plan, implement and evaluate their “Dream It, Be It” projects.
For more information, students and/or parents can contact Briscoe at albriscoe1074@gmail.com.
