My organization, Volunteer New York!, helps connect volunteers to local nonprofits. Recently, I had the pleasure of facilitating a virtual project between members and staff of Girls Inc. with volunteers from a local corporation. The volunteers—all professional women in the science and engineering industry—got the chance to share their experiences with high school girls who are interested in pursuing careers in science and medicine.
I was blown away by the inspiring conversation between the volunteers and the girls, as well as by the incredible energy exuded by the Girls Inc. team. The staff empower the young women in their program to reach their full potential, and they have FUN while doing it! We laughed and danced and everyone had big smiles on their faces from start to finish.
I can't recommend this program enough whether you're a Westchester girl in grade school or a volunteer looking to support a nonprofit. Girls Inc., you rock!
