Bootcamp for brains
Bootcamp For Brains mission is to create strong female leaders by providing them with the foundational skills that are critical to successful leadership. In just one week, participants walk away from the camp with the skills they will need to unleash their potential.
Develop key skills
Bootcamp for Brains focuses on developing hard and soft skills that contribute to successful leadership by engaging the girls as active participants throughout.
Girls will walk away from our camp with a Bootcamp For Brains Certificate of Achievement and key takeaways including communications skills; financial management skills; digital skills; and an understanding of civic responsibility and global opportunities.
Build networks
Bootcamp For Brains aims to provide girls with skills as well as a network of professionals they can rely on for years to come.
Participants create meaningful connections with a diverse group of peers, professionals and advocates from across Canada. Bootcampers gain exposure, cultivate their networking skills, and get interviews experience via mock interviews with professionals from various industries.
Peer engagement
One of the most powerful tools a girl can have in her repertoire is the support of her peers. To ensure bootcampers understand how to develop positive working relationships, participants will be placed in teams for a group challenge, where they all put their new skills to work.
By presenting their work to their peers and a panel of outside judges, participants left Bootcamp For Brains knowing they have support from girls across Canada.
