Girls in Real Leadership Situations (GIRLS)
Girls in Real Leadership Situations (GIRLS) empowers individual girls to increase awareness and readiness to educate the community and achieve economic well-being by promoting programming that teaches and supports girls in business planning and development, in how to operate and run their own non-profit business. GIRLS seeks to engage high school girls (ages 13-18) from communities of color, poverty and low-economic and immigrant backgrounds.

•Gain awareness of economics and issues that impact their economic success and learn how speaking out informs the community and empowers them to succeed.
•Gain knowledge and understanding through internships that encourage interaction with women business owners and non-profit organizations.
•Gain skills in business concepts, product development, marketing, goal setting, finance and public speaking.
•Gain an understanding of the power of entrepreneurship and philanthropy.
•Gain friends and authentic relationships and a sense of purpose
