Too many talented young women lack the resources, support, and confidence to turn their ideas into reality. The sheCEO Project changes that by equipping marginalised girls (ages 13-19) with entrepreneurial skills, financial literacy, and real-world business experience.
sheCEO Project
Seed Funding
Every participant receives a £150 startup budget in Week 3 to kickstart their business, with one-on-one mentor guidance along the way.
Weeks 1-3
sheCEO is a 9-week programme designed to take girls from idea to business launch through two key phases:
Interactive business & leadership sessions to develop entrepreneurial skills
Weeks 4-9
Mentorship & business development, culminating in a Graduation Pitch Fest
sheCEO Community Project
Run in local community spaces, making the programme accessible to more young women
sheCEO Schools Project
Delivered directly in schools to inspire and support young female entrepreneurs
Since August 2023, we’ve supported 46 girls in launching their own businesses, helping them take their first steps toward financial freedom and independence. Hear their feedback:
The sheCEO Project is fully funded by the London Mayor’s Violence Reduction Unit, meaning there is no cost for participants.
