Our entrepreneurship programs cultivate confidence and leadership skills in girls ages 8-18
THE
FACTS
Between ages 8 and 14, girls’ confidence levels can drop by 30% and lack of confidence can alter their career trajectories.
Girls outperform boys academically, yet men hold 80% of C-suite positions in the largest publicly held companies.
Women earn 55-87 cents for every dollar men earn and retire with 30% less money than men.
