GIRLS'BIZ is a community program empowering middle school girls to start and run their own business. WWE developed the program in 1995-1996.
GIRLS'BIZ is a community program which empowers middle school girls to start and run their own business and spend their profits on a group trip and a contribution to charity. The program meets on Tuesday evenings from 6:30-8:00 PM from September through April, and joins WWE for some of their Tuesday evening meetings. Each September we assemble a new group. Each year, the girls name their new compa
ny, work with a designer on their logo, take field trips to women owned businesses, learn to interview a business owner, brainstorm product ideas, take a product survey, make a business plan, take orders, produce and sell their product, and keep track of revenues and expenses. They determine their profit and decide how much to give to the charity that they choose. Then they plan their trip! Throughout the year, the girls meet women in business and increase their skills in planning, speaking and sales, while having fun with their friends! The experience of GIRLS'BIZ stays with these girls as they later make their own work and life choices.
