SPEAKHIRE helps young people from immigrant families build career and leadership skills through mentorship, training, and connections with professionals.

The program emphasizes social-capitol-growth-giving youth access to networks and roel models they might not otherwise have and supports increased confidence, gaol-setting, and school career engagement.
