The Y + Next Girl Up

LEARN HOW TO START A BUSINESS!

Next Girl Up is a no-cost program that introduces girls to marketing, entrepreneurship, and finance.

What Students Learn
The program is split into two phases that take students from the basics to real-world practice. We mix in the latest tools, trends, tech, and AI practices. Students receive welcome kits, certificates of completion, and access to a national network of women!

How Each Week Works

Icebreaker

We start with a fun get-to-know-you activity, writing prompt, or a quick game.

Presentation

No boring lectures or long-winded textbooks, just an interactive slide deck!

Case Study

Explore a real-life challenge and connect the dots using what was just learned.
