FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE  

GIRLS WITH IMPACT’S COVID RELIEF OFFER FOR PARENTS, GIVING GIRLS A MINI-MBA FOR LESS MONEY THAN SWIM LESSONS OR BASKET-WEAVING 


STAMFORD, CT. – October 9, 2020 -- There’s no doubt that parents are stressed out more than ever and looking for solutions amid a pandemic is no easy feat. 

Girls With Impact, the nation’s only live, online entrepreneurship program for girls, understands this struggle and is now offering a limited COVID-relief offer to keep girls advancing at a discount rate of 50% off their regular tuition. 

The 10-week Academy program (valued at $2,000) provides girls with invaluable skills to create their own ventures from their passions. Through live, online classes, dedicated business coaches guide students from idea to business plan, teaching them design thinking, marketing, finances and more along the way. As a next step, the girls join the Boardroom program, where they can be paired with mentors and continue to learn and connect with their peers from across the country.

Our after-school program is also eligible to be funded via the Federal Flexible Spending Account Program, under The Dependent Care FSA (DCFSA). This is a fantastic way for families to pay for eligible dependent care services for children up to age 13. Check out the full list of services available through The Dependent Care FSA.

“COVID-19 has been a turning point for home-based education – parents see that live, online learning from home can drive powerful results in their children,” said Jennifer Openshaw, CEO, Girls With Impact. 

Past graduates of Girls With Impact have seen full-ride college scholarships up to $200,000 as a result of their participation, launched their venture, attracted international press, and secured the college place of their dreams.   

The program drives college prep and workforce readiness outcomes in areas that have long been barriers to women’s success. For example:

  • 85% of graduates report improved leadership confidence 

  • 91% improve public speaking

  • 93% feel more college ready
