Career Interrogation Day with Boy's and Girls Club
Step into the hot seat at the new Boys & Girls Club!
Career Interrogation Day puts local young professionals in the spotlight as students take the lead—asking questions about your career, education, work experiences, and the path that brought you where you are today.
This interactive event gives youth the opportunity to explore a variety of career paths while helping inspire the next generation of leaders. Whether you work in the trades, healthcare, education, manufacturing, business, technology, or another industry, your story can make a lasting impact.
No presentation required—just bring your authentic experiences and be ready for some thoughtful (and possibly unexpected!) questions from curious students.
