Close the Imagination Gap for Girls Worldwide

Thanks to your continued support, we're making real progress on something we care deeply about: closing the imagination gap for girls. It's a simple but powerful idea. Girls can't aspire to be what they've never seen. A career path can feel invisible, even out of reach, until a girl meets someone actually walking it. Career Day is designed to make those paths visible, one classroom presentation at a time.

This school year, we welcomed 26 guest speakers into classrooms, reaching 1,025 students across 4 Career Day events. These aren't lectures. They're conversations. Girls met women working in fields like engineering, medicine, tech, the arts, and sports entertainment and heard firsthand about their education and career journeys: the twists, the setbacks, the moments that changed everything.

What makes this powerful is the real-time engagement. Girls aren't just listening. They're asking questions: What classes should I take? What does the day-to-day actually look like? What skills do I need to build now?

Girls left not just inspired, but with the beginnings of an actual plan: a subject to focus on, a mentor's contact, a next step toward the career of their dreams. That shift, from "I wonder if I could" to "here's how I'll get there," is exactly the gap we're working to close.

Because of your support, girls are:

• Building real relationships with women professionals who show up for them
• Getting space to talk through the everyday challenges of growing up: friendships, commitment, problem-solving
• Expanding their sense of what's possible for their futures
• Leaving Career Day with concrete next steps toward a career they now believe is within reach

We're grateful for your partnership in this work. Every classroom visit from a woman professional is possible because you believe, like we do, that girls deserve to see the full range of futures available to them.

Thank you for helping us close the imagination gap — one conversation, one classroom, one Career Day at a time.

We’re excited to announce the release of three new Career Girls role model videos focused on skills that help girls navigate their futures with confidence: Negotiation Skills, Networking Strategies, Okay to Change Your Mind.

These topics address real challenges girls face as they begin thinking about their goals, relationships, and career paths. In Negotiation Skills, girls learn how to advocate for themselves and communicate their value. Networking Strategies introduces the importance of building supportive connections and learning from others. In Okay to Change Your Mind, role models reassure girls that exploring different interests and changing direction are natural and healthy parts of discovering what truly excites them.

Hearing directly from accomplished women role models about these experiences helps girls build confidence and develop practical skills they can use now and in the future. These videos encourage girls to ask questions, try new things, and trust that their path can evolve over time.

With every new video added to the Career Girls library, another girl gains access to guidance, encouragement, and a role model who helps her see what’s possible.

Thank you for helping Close the Imagination Gap™—one inspiring story at a time.
