LYNNWOOD — Girls in middle, junior and high school curious about law and justice careers can learn from professionals Saturday at Edmonds Community College.
The second annual “Don’t Judge Me” event, hosted by the Boys & Girls Club of Snohomish County group InspireHER, features speakers who work in the courts, law offices, law enforcement and victim support. Some of the presentations will cover teen dating violence and human trafficking. The daylong workshop is free with lunch provided.
“These are important, extremely relevant topics that not only surround these girls in the media, but some are also dealing with these issues on a personal level,” said Snohomish Boys & Girls Club Director Marci Volmer. “It’s important to talk about that.”
InspireHER works to improve the lives of girls and inspire them to succeed. An event like this lets girls know they can be a police officer, lawyer and judge, Volmer said,
“Anything is possible,” she said.
Each girl who attends will receive a free, one-year membership to the Boys & Girls Club. Registration is available online or by contacting the club at 425-258-2436.
