Event Details
When: Third Tuesday of each month
Time: 7:00 to 7:45 PM Eastern Time

As a guest speaker, you will spend about 20 to 25 minutes sharing your journey, experiences, and insights. Topics can include your educational path, your current job, or another theme of your choice. The tone is informal and conversational, with plenty of opportunities for student questions.
There is no need for slides or a formal presentation. We are looking for people who are excited to speak with middle school students and share their stories in an engaging and supportive environment.
