Project Details

What we need

Join regular 90 minutes speed networking events with young girls in schools
Share your story and help girls boost their self confidence in pursuing their passion

Background

Inspiring Girls Hong Kong offers free career and life planning programs to secondary schools in Hong Kong. We connect female professionals like you to with young girls form 14-18 years old who are just at the stage of discovering what is possible for them in the future.

What we have

You will be invited to an 1-hour mandatory online training before meeting the girls. The training will help you understand the objective of the program, what it means to be a Role Model and give you useful tips for communicating with teenagers.

Why this is important

Based on our previous interactions with schools, it has been evident that there persists a notable disparity in the inclination and motivation to pursue STEM subjects or pursue careers in STEM fields, with girls generally displaying lower interest. Your involvement will play a crucial role in narrowing this gap by challenging the conventional perception of a STEM professional and igniting curiosity and enthusiasm in girls.

What we do

We are a charity program that inspires and empowers girls to believe in their dreams by connecting them with amazing female role models. We are dedicated to raising the ambitions of girls (aged 10-18) by connecting them with female role models online and offline. Girls will be invited to join speed networking sessions with the role models and have access to a video hub - a free resource to allow them to watch inspirational interviews with women from a wide range of careers.
