Among the topics covered are career opportunities, setting and achieving goals, overcoming obstacles to success and how to move forward with setbacks or failures.
In their first meeting, eighth grade girls from EMS chose a role model and listed role model traits, created a vision board and wrote a letter to their future self. The girls were accompanied by members of the Soroptimist group and their school counselor, Kathy Orr.
