Every “lightbulb moment” begins with a problem.
Mindset & Milestones prepares young women to succeed in the world as it is, while creating the world as it should be. The skills they learn from our entrepreneurial curriculum will follow them into the classroom, on social media, in the boardroom, and beyond.
In 2021, gender equity is a bigger topic than ever. Gi
rls can be anything they want, do anything they want, and follow their own paths in life …… but are the structures and experiences they’re having supporting those paths?
If all of the problems were solved by traditional classes and stellar grades, why is it that women make up only 7% of top CEOs, 24% of congress members, and 27% of tenure-track faculty? Girls have all of the “opportunities” in the world, but are less often given the real opportunities they need – guidance, space, and support to see these opportunities through and develop the mindset to make dreams real. That’s what entrepreneurial education is all about.
At Mindset & Milestones, entrepreneurship isn’t about operating a business. It’s about expanding horizons.
Our teaching curriculum and workbook were created to help educators facilitate meaningful discussions and collaboration that ultimately shift girls’ mindsets around what’s possible. It’s a turn-key solution that can be implemented into the existing curriculum and integrated with any teaching style to enhance the content educators and program directors are already presenting.
We’ve designed this curriculum at the intersection of life skills, college preparation, and classroom integration. It’s been reviewed and refined through the lens of students, their ideas, and the educators that are willing to step into the mentor roles to guide girls on their entrepreneurial journeys.
We know what you might be thinking – not every girl wants to be a business owner. And we couldn’t agree more.
To us, entrepreneurship isn’t about owning and operating a business. It’s about expanding horizons, validating the problems girls see in the world and empowering them to discover new solutions, whether they want to be business owners or high-performing employees in career paths they love.
