Teen Entrepreneurship Program For Girls

Learn how to turn big ideas into bold businesses within 5 days.

Our Teen Entrepreneurship Program is designed for girls (ages 16-18) who are ready to explore their creativity, build confidence, and launch something of their own.

Participants will gain the confidence, tools, and strategies to turn their ideas into action — learning how to price, market, and manage their work without losing the joy of creating.

Whether you’re starting fresh or leveling up an existing idea, this program will give you the clarity and momentum to finally build the business you’ve been dreaming about.

Led by a local female artist and entrepreneur, this program blends creativity with real-world business skills.

No business background needed!

Let’s turn passions into possibilities.
