About
Join us on an exciting Business Crawl designed exclusively for school-aged girls in the 7th, 8th and 9th grades, as we embark on a journey to discover and be inspired by the incredible women entrepreneurs in our local Rahway community.
This empowering day will open doors to a world of possibilities, as we visit a diverse range of women-owned businesses spanning various industries. Through interactive tours, engaging demonstrations, and insightful conversations, these visionary women will share their journeys, challenges, and triumphs, igniting a spark of inspiration within each participant.
By showcasing the power and potential of entrepreneurship, we aim to inspire our young girls to dream big, pursue their passions, and shatter any glass ceilings that may stand in their way. It’s a day to witness firsthand the strength, creativity, and innovation that women bring to the business world, leaving the girls with a renewed sense of belief in their own abilities and the confidence to carve out their own paths of success.
