Our
Programs

Our Girl Boss program was adapted from entrepreneurship classes at the MIT Sloan School of Management. The program is based on research from the World Bank and World Economic Forum that identified critical skills sought after by employers as well as input from girls globally through a 14-country survey of over 500 girls and input from over 100 girls interning on our Girl Squads.
 

The foundation of our programs is our Girl Boss Mindsets & Skills, 7 core competencies rooted in gender awareness and entrepreneurial education that unlock adolescent girls’ and young women’s economic agency. These competencies have been specifically identified to equip adolescent girls to take charge of their futures and successfully transition from education to work.

Methodology and Frameworks

Hugely unequal labor force participation rates show that around the world, adolescent girls are not able to take charge of their professional futures. Launch Girls applies entrepreneurship education with a gender lens to help girls transition from school to work. Entrepreneurship Education focuses on developing entrepreneurial competencies - mindsets and skills - that will allow girls to succeed in the future.

Program Framework

Skill
MASTERY

To ensure skill mastery, our curriculum spirals (topics that have been completed in the past are reiterated several times), so girls have the opportunity to practice the skills and mindsets in new contexts.

Experiential
LEARNING

Girls are constantly given opportunities to practice the skills, tools and strategies in their own lives and businesses while actively engaging with their communities.

Value
CREATION

Each program culminates in the creation of something new -  a business plan, a life-operations plan, a personal or professional pitch, or portfolio to show parents and future employers.

Direct
INSTRUCTION

All of the entrepreneurial concepts, strategies, and tools are introduced through direct instruction. The sessions are carefully structured to concisely and incrementally introduce new information, which allows girls more time for independent practice.
