She Elevates is a 501c3 not for profit organization. These young ladies attend the She Elevates Academy and then they are mentored by women who are currently business owners, community leaders, and women of great influence. These leaders will open up their offices and business locations to facilitate effective shadowing days, events, outings, and special occasion visits as needed. The purpose of shadowing will allow young girls access to actually see entrepreneurs and C-Level executives running a business and what happens in their offices or field of business on a day-to-day basis.

The girls will learn the realities of how their tasks and responsibilities are carried out with the spirit of excellence, enjoyment and purpose in their chosen field of business.

One primary area of focus is mindset adjustment to what it means to be a business owner or CEO. This is a big component to the success of this program considering most school programs and life advice is built around “getting a good job” which means being an employee rather than an employer. The mindset of working for someone else is rooted in American culture, and the goal of She Elevates, is to help these girls see themselves apart of a unique class of people who can create, manage, and grow a successful and thriving business enterprise.

They will be inspired and also equipped with tools to help them understand the totality of what business ownership is all about. This will also include helping them tap into the unique differences specifically to women business owners.
