About This Webinar

Discover free, classroom-ready resources that help girls explore careers, build confidence, and develop essential SEL skills. Learn how to bring Career Girls’ powerful role model stories into your classroom or program—starting immediately.

This practical webinar introduces Career Girls’ high-quality, research-informed resources, including more than 16,000 role model videos from diverse women, expertly designed curriculum, Empowerment Videos, and interactive career and college major quizzes. 

Participants will learn innovative, discussion-based strategies that pair authentic role model stories with SEL-focused lessons to help girls expand career awareness, build confidence, and develop essential skills such as self-awareness, resilience, and goal-setting.

Educators will explore how to integrate Career Girls’ free resources directly into classrooms, counseling programs, and afterschool settings. The session highlights real-world examples from educators who are successfully using Career Girls to engage students and improve career readiness outcomes.

The webinar also offers a step-by-step overview of launching a Career Girls Club, a free, turnkey program that includes classroom-ready curriculum, activities, supplies, measurement and evaluation tools, and ongoing educator support. The flexible program includes a customizable curriculum, including a 20-week option, adaptable to a wide range of schedules and learning environments.

By the end of the session, participants will leave with actionable strategies, ready-to-use resources, and a clear implementation roadmap to help girls dream bigger, aim higher, and see themselves in a wide range of future careers.
