In the midst of a busy month working with clients who want to get into corporate consulting work in 2024 and us onboarding new schools who licensed our curriculum, talking about the power of mentoring and the work we do via NEXTGENPRENEUR can never get old. So proud of our girls who spoke very eloquently, how do you think they did?

As we wrap up National Mentoring Month and celebrate Black History month, we are reminded about a quote from the White House that states ‘The greatness of a nation is measured in part by how it prepares its next generation’. We are committed to the work we do to empower, equip and amplify the voices of the next generation for the future they’ll live in. These @nextgenpreneur girls made us so proud and represented all of our @nextgenpreneur girls worldwide so well. The icing on the cake, they get to add ‘As seen in ABC7’ on their bios?? and trust me our girls have been taught the power of Positioning. If you have a girl in middle or high school and she’s not in the NEXTGENPRENEUR make sure to check it out and apply before the open enrollment closes. It’s truly one of the best programs for girl leaders and entrepreneurs. If you work in a school and would love to introduce the NEXTGENPRENEUR to your students, send us a message. How do you think they did? Let me know in the comments.
