ABOUT HER IDEA:

Her Idea is a nonprofit that mentors young women as they make the transition from high school to the "real world" of college and career. We are working to partner with local schools to provide students with the resources needed to pursue their passions and purpose. We focus on the power of personal projects to serve as transformative learning experiences. We believe education is a community effort and we are very excited to create this opportunity for these talented young people to share what they have been working for the past few months.
