Five girls from Girls Inc. of Tarrant County have formed the team "Fort Worth Creators" and they are participating in Exploring Entrepreneurial Experiences (E3), a national Girls Inc. competition sponsored by Sam's Club for girls ages 12-14. The goal is for girls to come together in teams to develop new product-based business ideas.
The Fort Worth Creators (pictured here) consists of five girls. They are Jackeline, Mariah, Melissa, Teresa, and Alma. Not only will they learn how to start, lead and manage their own business, they will learn about career options, financial terms, and making business presentations to adults.
In addition, the girls will learn computer skills, improve literacy skills, gain knowledge of information systems, develop research tactics, and meet female business owners in their community.
They have signed up for a challenging competition and will compete with Girls Inc. affiliates across the nation. On Nove
mber 22, they submitted an idea and are anxiously waiting for feedback from Girls Inc. National Staff. Their idea is original, innovative and savvy, but shall remain a secret, for now at least. This is a competition and other Girls Inc. teams could be watching! The Fort Worth Creators are excited about the opportunity to learn new skills as they prepare for interesting work and economic
independence. We will keep you updated as their business develops. Stay tuned for more news about this E3 team as well as Corporate Camp for Entrepreneurs (a team for girls ages 15-18).
