No, some questions in the profile are optional. The only required fields are Employer, Job Title, and Education, as we may share these with the schools. Other fields such as country of heritage, country of birth, gender, and first language are optional. If provided, we may also share with schools. At times, a school may request a Role Model with a specific background, and if so, we may use these fields to identify potential Role Models.

When logged in, visit the Calendar. All available sessions will be listed, and sorted by date. You can refine the list by selecting the school district, presentation language, or delivery (in-person or virtual).

No, unless there are multiple Programs at the school. Each “Program” at a school indicates which group of students will be present. The Calendar will indicate the Program along with the school name. For example: HISPA High School - Program A.1 and HISPA High School - Program A.2 are sessions with the same group of students; while HISPA High School - Program A.1 and HISPA High School - Program B.1 are sessions with different groups of students. In schools with two or more programs, you may sign up for each program within the same school, sometimes the same day, but not two sessions within the same program.
