Girls Who Start is a 501(c)3 non-profit international organization that works to combat gender inequalities in the business world by inspiring middle school, high school, and college girls to become entrepreneurs and leaders.

To accomplish our mission, we create speaker events with female entrepreneurs and leaders, we host workshops and hackathons to help girls develop leadership skills, and we create an international community of girls interested in entrepreneurship and leadership. Additionally, we host annual summits with female leaders, we run a scholarship program to provide underrepresented girls with access to social entrepreneurship and college counseling courses, and we run the Girls Who Start Weekly Publication to expose girls to female leaders and current news about female leadership.

To get involved, you can apply to start your own Girls Who Start chapter at your middle school, high school, or college, you can attend our national events, apply to our scholarship program, or sign up to be a primary writer or one time writer for the Girls Who Start Weekly Publication.
