SPEAKERS
( LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY FRIENDS )
The Super Heroes of the They Made It…So Can I
Over 100 speakers have inspired 5th grade students over the course of 10 years and 12 Boston area schools.
Nothing becomes impossible after sharing the real life personal stories of our speakers as they tell their stories from when they were in 5th grade to the present. No matter the aspiration of the student, they learn over the course of the year that their dreams can come true as they witness speakers who have overcome great diversity in their lives and are now successful in their professions.
