SPARK! A One-Day Conference began at Whitney Young High School in 2015. The current format of the program is a total of 4 hours with breakfast and lunch included. Prior to the conference, the girls rank their session choices and on the day of the conference, they will receive their schedule with their top choices.
Sessions include financial literacy, personal branding, women's health, goal setting and more.
The title itself tells an immense amount about the theme of the conference. The goal is to SPARK! the ammunition within these young women and to do so by not only telling them what they can accomplish but also showing them by example and giving them opportunities to network with the women they are striving to become. The program includes women of all ethnicities and backgrounds from Illinois and beyond. Our goal is give the young women an environment where they are comfortable asking questions, learning and growing.
Both Young, Ambitious and Beautiful and Whitney Young Magnet High School feel that it is imperative to share with the world and as well each other, examples of strong women. With a strong focus on entrepreneurial skill, networking, and overall career advancement our goal is to support, uplift, and encourage girls and women, while allowing these women to do the same for others. We believe in “lifting as we climb”.
SPARK! A One-Day Conference is a great example of “lifting as we climb”. By the end of the program, the girls will be motivated to go above and beyond and will hopefully be able to encourage others.
