All Succeed When Girls Mean Business
When girls get together to talk business, they discover, connect and take action around the topics of work readiness, entrepreneurship and financial literacy. Girls Mean Business! is an initiative designed to motivate and nurture in girls the desire, confidence and skills needed to lead an enterprise and become financially self-sufficient, while developing healthy self-empowerment skills. This is achieved with the proven success of Junior Achievement’s entrepreneurship and financial literacy curricula and the Girl Scouts’ success in building leaders.
Get involved in the partnership today!
