College & Leadership: Opening the Door to Your Future

College & Leadership: Opening the Door to Your Future was created by the Utah Women & Leadership Project. This one-hour course helps prepare tween and teen young women for their future by introducing them to Maya, Brianna, and Hannah, each of whom have different goals – or no goals – for their own lives. There are four modules in this course:

1. Benefits of Attending College
2. Your Skills and Interests
3. Leadership
4. Academic Preparation for College.

Along with the videos, each participant has access to an interactive workbook that will help them understand and apply what they’re learning. Because this course may be done in a group setting, or with a mentor, we’ve included an Adult Guide with ideas and suggestions for discussions and activities that can be done with just one girl or many; each activity is designed to take less than one hour. We hope this helps many young women (and their leaders/teachers) better understand why graduating from college is so important and how they can be – and are – leaders.
