We will talk about the struggles and accomplishments of these inspiring athletes as well as their own work to break social barriers and protest injustice in the world.[/vc_column_text][vc_button button_color=”accent” border_width=”0″ button_color_type=”uncode-palette” uncode_shortcode_id=”162329″ link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.archivesfoundation.org%2Fevent%2Fgirl-power-inspiring-the-next-generation-of-women-athletes%2F|target:_blank”]rsvp today[/vc_button][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”842030″]Join us live at the National Archives Museum in Washington\, D.C. or virtually from anywhere for an evening of pure inspiration as we talk all things girl power and sports. \nA panel of accomplished women in sport will recount their career journeys and how they tackled the belief that “girls can’t do that\,” inspiring girls like our favorite girl\, 13-year-old Zebobegim Shamsieva\, who will travel from Nashville to D.C. for the event where she will learn to pursue her dreams\, trust her inner voice\, and never settle for “no.” \nNatalie Kalibat\, American sportscaster and former diving champion\, will moderate the discussion between Play Like a Girl Ambassadors Monica Abbott\, one of the most decorated players in the history of softball; Bethany Donaphin\, former WNBA basketball player who is now Head of League Operations; and Patricia Mangan\, two-time Olympic alpine skier.

Sports unite people\, teach values\, and inspire hope and pride. In the United States\, sports have powered efforts to bring citizens together\, shape them\, and project a vision of what it means to be American. But sports convey power to athletes too—power to break social barriers and protest injustice. All American explores the power of sports both to embody our national ideals and challenge us to live up to them.\nAll American is free and open to the public and is on display in the Lawrence F. O’Brien Gallery of the National Archives Museum in Washington\, DC\, through January 7\, 2024. This 3\,000-square-foot exhibit showcases more than 75 items including original records\, artifacts\, and photographs. Among other exclusives\, visitors can read the original Title IX policy document prohibiting sex discrimination in education (on limited display) and “meet” historic athletes who cleared roadblocks\, shattered stereotypes\, and paved the way for today’s titans! \nThe National Archives Museum is home to the Declaration of Independence\, Constitution\, and Bill of Rights. These founding documents\, along with the Lawrence F. O’Brien Gallery\, the Public Vaults\, and the David M. Rubenstein Gallery\, featuring Records of Rights\, are open for visitors from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. daily.[/vc_column_text][vc_button button_color=”accent” size=”link” btn_link_underline=”btn-underline-in” custom_typo=”yes” font_family=”font-149296″ font_weight=”600″ text_transform=”uppercase” button_color_type=”uncode-palette” uncode_shortcode_id=”200252″ link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.archivesfoundation.org%2Fevent%2Fgirl-power-inspiring-the-next-generation-of-women-athletes%2F|target:_blank”]Click here to RSVP for this free hybrid event[/vc_button][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Meet + Mentor: An Inside Look at Turner Construction
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an inside look at the Mid-State Medical Office Building construction site!\nThis month\, we’re teaming up with Turner Construction Company (Turner) to give middle school girls across Nashville an inside look at exciting career options in the construction industry. \nNow—more than ever—is a great time for girls and young women to consider a career in construction. If you are passionate about science\, technology\, engineering\, and mathematics (STEM)\, the construction industry would be a great fit for you. Much more than just boots-in-the-dirt\, hammers\, and nails\, the construction industry offers a variety of professions and opportunities. \nJoin us to learn the basics of construction management\, tour an active construction site\, and interact with talented women builders. \nThis is a drop-off event but parents must check in and out with their student(s) present. Check in begins at 9:45 a.m. Check out is promptly at 12:00 p.m. Closed-toe shoes and full-length pants are required. Turner will provide safety helmets\, glasses\, and vests. \nSnacks will be provided\, and the girls will leave with goodies to remember the experience. \nClick the share button below to invite your classmates\, friends and Girl Scout troop. \nSee you on Saturday\, March 11th! \n  \nAbout Meet + Mentor: An Inside Look\n\nInside Look is a monthly employer-sponsored mentoring event series that connects middle school girls with women professionals and male allies from Nashville’s top companies. With tech talks\, panel discussions\, hands-on projects and more\, the program is designed to grow participants’ interest in science\, technology\, engineering\, mathematics and related fields (STEM+) and help them learn more about careers at Nashville’s top companies\, preparing them for college and career. \nInside Look is an extension of our Meet + Mentor program committed to supporting diversity in Nashville’s workforce and the STEM+ industry as a whole through community-building\, speed mentoring and skills development activities. Each three-hour experience includes an exclusive employee-guided tour of the host company\, its laboratory\, plant and/or other facilities\, exposes students to a myriad of STEM+ and non-STEM+ careers at the company\, introduces what’s new in tech through a hands-on product demonstration or STEM+ activity\, and shares sage advice about high school courses\, internships and training programs\, college scholarships\, majors and other pertinent topics related to choosing a career pathway into the industry. \nIn addition\, the host company gets to highlight its social impact in the lives of Nashvillians and the world. This program intentionally elevates women who are natural role models and leaders in the community through partnership with Corporate Social Responsibility\, Employee Resource Groups and Diversity\, Equity & Inclusion initiatives already working in our community. \n\n\nNote: Play Like a Girl no longer offers free-to-register programs and events. Free events\, particularly during the COVID-19 era\, carry extremely high no-show risks\, thereby reducing our impact and risking our relationships with partners and sponsors who invest time\, talent and treasure to deliver high-quality programming for our girls.
