Program areas at Elg
You go girl: the envision lead grow program begins here, with the entrepreneurial summer immersion camp. Middle school girls from the seven cities come together at a sleep-away camp, on a college campus, to learn the building blocks of becoming an entrepreneur. At the end of the summer immersion camp, these young women leave with a solid business idea, a passion pitch they can use to sell their idea to others and confidence to take their company and ultimately their community to the next level. Over the course of the summer and throughout the school year, girls receive mentoring, in-person and via webinars, the opportunity to attend a spring institute for top performers, and monthly activities for themselves and their families. We are building teen entrepreneurs, who become "thousand-aires" while still in school!
The womanhood initiative: provides financial literacy, wealth building strategies, specialized mentoring and support to entrepreneurs.
Boss up: high school girls enter via participation in the boss up conference. Girls learn self-empowerment, leadership skills, entrepreneurship skills, social justice, and college preparation. Girls create their own ventures for profit or social change.
All others, including the blossom network: *newly added due to demand. Even after graduation, girls still need accountability, mentoring, and resources. The blossom network provides monthly webinars for Elg graduates and continued mentoring. The blossom network serves as a resource for women 18-25 to build financial literacy and confidence.
