Girls Lead!

Girls Lead! (previously Girls' Economic Power Day) is targeted towards teen girls in order that they may learn life skills not taught in the classroom. Participants attend informative and inspiring workshops developed and lead by teen girls on topics such as fearless speaking, negotiation skills, career options, budgeting, investing, teamwork, communication, conflict resolution, entrepreneurship, how to get a job, stereotypes and much more. Teen Moxie believes young women first need to be comfortable with themselves before they can truly be successful at gaining economic power.

Hives for Lives: Bee the Cure We Seek

The inspiration for Hives for Lives was an incredible man named Michael Otto Houlahan. He was an intelligent, loving and beautiful man. Four years ago, at the age of 63 he passed away from the deadly disease of cancer. He was my grandfather. I was in the 6th grade when he died. Shortly after his death, my other grandparents came to visit my house. They had beehives that, at the time, were simply a hobby my sister and I shared with them. They were talking about how they didn’t know what we should do with all of the honey. My little sister Carly and I suggested we sell it for charity.

Gumball Capital

Gumball Capital is a Stanford-based nonprofit organization that inspires entrepreneurship for social impact using the idea of microfinance. Microlending, one part of microfinance, involves making small loans to the poor to help raise them out of poverty. We've found microfinance to be an inspiring method of poverty alleviation, and we want to engage college students across the country with microfinance as well. We're accomplishing this by launching the Gumball Challenge, a national microfinance-benefit competition.
