Step Up corporate and foundation partners share our passion for guiding girls to their success. Are you ready to play an active role in our mission?
Through free mentorship programs, Step Up works with girls and gender-expansive teens facing systemic barriers on becoming confident, career-focused, and ready to join the next generation of leaders. We know it’s their voices at the vanguard that will bring a more just and prosperous society for all. When you invest in Step Up, you join us in this important work.
Studies show that 83% of employees are more likely to put in more effort at work when they feel good about the way their employer contributes to community. Through Step Up’s Employee Engagement Partnerships, your organization will have hands-on opportunities for mentoring and volunteering, along with access to networking and community-building programs.
Step Up crafts activations that connect your brand with our community of women members and/or young women mentees. From opportunities for sampling, to program and event sponsorships, to social media and media relations, to celebrity gifting, Step Up looks forward to supporting the brands that invest in our mission.
