SPEAKHIRE Mag Issue 18 is out! Read highlights of a successful academic year and an eventful summer featuring the SPEAKHIRE Summit and Soiree.
“When I came to the United States, I arrived without any knowledge of the language. SPEAKHIRE has empowered me to work harder to achieve results," Maria Castro, Rising Leader and 2023 Foundational Year Alum, stated at the annual Soiree event.
Like Maria, many Interns expressed confidence in their career readiness and noted the importance of embracing their identities as they received guidance from SPEAKHIRE's Champions.
And through the facilitation of the Inspiring Leadership course over the summer, Interns now feel motivated, more confident, and empowered to pursue their career interests!
In addition to our Interns' success stories, you can tune into our Summit panel — Our Champions facilitated a riveting conversation about the future of our workforce, and what it means to be a leader!

Our Story
SPEAK Mentorship develops the social and cultural capital of girls to become leaders in the workforce. Our flagship mentoring program prepares, and empowers young women as they make life decisions such as college choice, major, and career field. It also helps them build self-esteem, self-efficacy, and agency to portray themselves as the outstanding individuals they are. The girls find SPEAK, and its network of girls and women who share the immigrant experience, as a safe space, as ‘home’. They develop socially, emotionally, academically, and culturally -- finding out who they are as individuals in their communities. With seminars, webinars, and convening events, SPEAK ensures everyone in the network can continually be stimulated, expanding their awareness of opportunities to become leaders in the community.
