Our cornerstone initiative, this 12-week program, is designed to teach high school students the fundamentals of starting and managing a business. Participants gain hands-on experience, from developing a business idea to pitching it to potential investors. Graduates of the program are eligible for grants to launch their ventures.
While Hawa’s Wings is open to all students, we take care to facilitate a pipeline to success for high school students from underserved and diversity backgrounds. This helps many of our students escape the cycle of hopelessness that occurs far too often in communities across America. Once Hawa’s Wings students complete our programs, they become part of our alumni network, a diverse community of talent, and can transition seamlessly from student to corporate culture with a deep understanding of business and finance.
