We launched the Girls in Business Initiative in January and it's a
hit! Students and parents love the class, so don't miss the Girls in
Business Camp Palo Alto 2020. Camp begins with an introduction to
basic business principles including strategy, marketing and finance.
Each girl will then create her own business and complete the following
activities. * Name her business * Create a mission statement *
Create a logo * Create a slogan or tagline * Design a business card
* Create a marketing plan * Create a finance plan including a budget
* Create a pitch for investors Once her business has taken shape our
young CEOs will pitch a group of mock investors for the funding to
launch her start-up. Limited tickets.
Camp is open to GIRLS AGES 10 TO 15. Girl Scouts participants will
receive a BUSINESS OWNER BADGE OR BUSINESS PLAN UPON COMPLETION OF THE
PROGRAM. The camp day runs from 8am to 3pm. The registration fee
includes program materials, snacks and a GIB logo t-shirt. No refunds
will be given for camp registration fees unless the organizer cancels
or reschedules the session. For additional information contact US via
