At Nerdy Girl Success, we are dedicated to fostering entrepreneurship among women play a crucial role in shaping the future of aspiring female leaders. For Women Entrepreneurship Day, we spoke to local media about the inspiring work of our initiatives, which focus on equipping young women with the necessary tools for success in their careers and personal lives.
Building a Toolkit for Success
Nerdy Girl Success was established to assist girls and young women, from high school to college, in developing a “toolkit for success.” We thrive on building partnerships with local school districts like Houston ISD and Fort Bend ISD, creating clubs where participants can learn invaluable skills such as negotiating, networking, and financial literacy. These fundamental abilities are critical as we prepare these young women to navigate the complexities of the professional world.
Moreover, the program organizes career and leadership summits in cities like Chicago, Washington D.C., and Boston, broadening the horizons to reach many more students across the country. These summits not only provide exposure to various industries but also encourage networking among peers and professionals, solidifying the foundation of support these young women need to succeed.
The Power of Mentorship
Central to the mission of Nerdy Girl Success is the powerful impact of mentorship. Professional women from diverse fields—ranging from healthcare to technology and politics—volunteer their time to guide the next generation. These mentorship programs occur both in-person and online, allowing young women to connect with role models who inspire them through sharing their own stories and experiences. Mentorship is vital as it can help dismantle barriers for young women who might otherwise lack access to such networks. If you’re interested in volunteering, contact us to learn more!
