daretodream.org

Dare to Dream has created videos for middle schools to give girls positive, multi-cultural role models from all kinds of careers. They encourage you to download appropriate pages and interviews from the web site to use with your students.

The interviews are wonderful, and the site also encourages you to invite live mentors from your community to talk to the students. There is nothing like the ability to ask questions of someone whom you know and respect who is standing before you.

Their mission is, "To give every girl in America the chance to dream. By working together, it will happen."
