GEMS Summer Experience
SUMMER 2026
The GEMS Summer Experience is a 4-week Saturday morning leadership intensive for girls ages 13–18. Each session covers a different topic designed to build the professional skills, financial awareness, and personal vision every young woman needs to lead.

Greetings, presence, public speaking, communication, and how to carry yourself in every room.
Week 3 — Goal Setting
SMART goals, vision planning, and building a personal roadmap for the year ahead.
Week 2 — Financial Literacy
Money habits, smart spending, goal-based saving, and building toward financial independence.
Week 4 — Career Exploration
Career paths, connecting with professionals, and discovering what is possible & how to get there.
She Was Made For This.
Some girls are waiting for someone to tell them they are ready. GEMS is that moment. Our Summer Experience gives girls the tools, the community, and the confidence to stop waiting and start leading — in a summer empowerment experience that will stay with her long after the summer ends.
