Our Entrepreneurship Program for Girls is about building the skills and confidence for girls to thrive in business and life. Over the course of the program, students learn how to select, research, vet, develop, and market a business. From idea generation to pitching their businesses for startup investment funds, this six-month course is truly transformative.
As an all-girls program, this powerful curriculum is also about how to do business, focusing on the principles and values that go into doing business well — communication, business etiquette, accountability, integrity, courage, and perseverance among others. Because as we know, becoming an entrepreneur isn’t for the faint of heart!
Our six-month after-school program begins every October and ends in April. Classes for the 2023-2024 cohort will be held in downtown Chicago on weekday evenings once a week except for holidays and winter break.
