Bossgirls is a summer entrepreneurship program from the Zahn Innovation Center at The City College of New York (CCNY) for high school (current 9-12th graders) girls and nonbinary students. The program is fully sponsored by Standard Chartered as part of its Futuremakers Initiative.

If you’ve ever thought about running your own business, inventing something new, or being part of a movement to create change in the world, Bossgirls is for you! You’ll join a community of other bossgirls like yourself to discover entrepreneurship. You and a team of other bossgirls will focus on a problem, come up with an innovative solution for it, research the market, compare competitors, learn how to price your product & prototype it, and create a brand around your idea. At the end of the program, you’ll pitch your idea to an audience--think Shark Tank without the sharks. All the while, you’ll get to meet  entrepreneurs & get advice from expert mentors from Standard Chartered, our program sponsor. 

And just so your parents know... our goal is to introduce entrepreneurship to you as not only a possible career path, but a mindset that advances any course of learning. Our curriculum puts the customer first, introducing you to a human-centered design approach to problem-solving. You’ll learn how to analyze a problem and find a business opportunity within it. Plus, having this on your resume or college application looks great!

Diverse Courses. Enriching Activities. The Perfect Summer Program.

For high school students in grades 9-12 (ages 14-18), Summer Discovery's Pre-College Enrichment Programs are the perfect mix of pre-college academics and fun activities. You will gain independence, deepen friendships both old and new, and explore your interests through diverse course offerings. The depth and breadth of our program options are unparalleled, so are you ready to prepare for your future?

During your class time, you'll be taught by experienced instructors who know that lectures are old school. Through hands-on experiences, you'll develop 21st century skills like teamwork and communication and won't be watching time tick by. Outside of class, our highly trained staff will help you to explore new cities, lead you on excursions, and plan activities to maximize that summer fun. 

No two students are alike, and no two Summer Discovery experiences are identical. Each student can choose their pathway to customize their academic experience. Priority Course Registration Ends: March 15th

That’s the Summer Discovery difference.
