BossGirls. Summer entrepreneurship program at CCNY

My name is Katherine Olives and I’m writing to you from the Zahn Innovation Center, a startup incubator at the City College of New York (CCNY). I thought some of your students may be interested in a free entrepreneurship program we offer during the summer called Bossgirls.

The program will be virtual for Summer 2021. Below is more information about the program to share with faculty, counselors, students, and parents.

Bossgirls, a free entrepreneurship camp for high school girls from the Zahn Innovation Center at the City College of New York, is now taking applications for Summer 2021 (virtual). Students work on their own startup ideas as they learn to build a business from the ground up. They'll gain new skills, develop greater confidence, and make new friends along the way. As an added bonus, students are provided mentorship through our sponsors at Standard Chartered, and they hear from women entrepreneurs throughout the program.
