Girls Earning Money
Gem-N-Me has facilitated several ‘Girls Earning Money’ 8-week sessions where the girls experiment with various income streams, and learn soft skills that are applicable to various career and entrepreneurship paths for girls grades 3-12th. Income streams that have been explored in the past are babysitting, making lip gloss, body scrubs, painting, and hair braiding. Over the past two years, Gem-N-Me has provided start-up funds for 15 businesses to adolescent girls in the Cleveland Ohio area.
