Hear from Parents
This marketing camp was very informative for my daughter, who hopes to open her own bakery one day! I can’t wait to see how she merges all her skills and develops her own professional network like all of the mentors!
– Nichole B.
I highly recommend Next Girl Up for any girl… my daughter learned so much and wouldn’t stop talking about it!
– Namakula E.
Our daughter LOVED this experience. At the end of every day, she was excited to talk about everything she learned and was bursting with excitement. We were impressed every day by the amount of knowledge she was able to discuss. Fantastic job!
– Heidi S.
A great experience for my daughter. This was her second time, and the staff was once again INCREDIBLE! Lots of memories and friends were made.
– Simone M.
“My daughter had a wonderful experience. She was able to work collaboratively in diverse groups, which I think is so important in this world. She hopes to attend again next summer.”
– Dawn T.
Hear from Students
My experience at Next Girl Up has prepared me for many courses I would encounter at college. The multiple programs and volunteer sessions influenced me to pursue a degree in business and set long-term goals, including, hopefully, opening my own business!
– Sarah H.
Next Girl Up equipped me with business-pitching skills and marketing terminology, and helped me secure my first internship. I attribute a great deal of my career development to my start at Next Girl Up. Thanks to this program, I have the confidence to actively mentor others and understand how essential it is for another person’s journey.
– Namyanzi E.
I still use what I learned to this day! I had started a small Etsy shop, but I had gotten almost no sales and didn’t know how to improve. After Next Girl Up, I rebranded and started selling something new, and now I have over 200 sales!
– Lilly G.
