Women of Tomorrow Mentoring Program

Since the beginning of the 2019-2020 school year, the Central Courthouse has hosted numerous student tours for high schoolers that are part of the Women of Tomorrow Mentor and Scholarship program. The groups of young ladies spend the morning observing court and talking one-on-one with judges and other court staff to learn about their career paths and possibly gain an interest in pursuing the same.

Women of Tomorrow pairs professional women with small groups of public high school girls for monthly school-based mentoring sessions, discussing topics such as college planning, resume writing, career choices, goal setting, time management and others.Career-focused field trips introduce mentees to career options they may not have considered or even heard of before.
