### CALL FOR CAREER PRESENTERS ###
See Her, Be Her is Girl Scout Heart of New Jersey's annual career fair for Girl Scouts in grades K-12. Guests, most of whom are women, from all walks - and careers - of life are invited to share what they do, provide hands-on activities or artifacts related to their work, and be available for questions. The event is run open house style, allowing the Girl Scouts to move organically through the space and explore what catches their attention.
We are looking for local volunteers to present their career at a booth to the scouts that will be in attendance. Please register through vTools if you would like to volunteer for this event
Not an IEEE member or an engineer? NO PROBLEM

How to prepare:
Create an interactive table display featuring information about your career. Flyers, props, visuals, and short videos are encouraged. Giveaways are welcome and always a hit with the girls.
Provide a brief hands-on activity (3-5 minutes) that allows girls to experience your profession in action.
There will be over 30 tables at this event, and the STEM professions are always a hit with the girls, but the professions do not have to be just STEM fields. When you register to volunteer, please add a note on what is your profession is.
