Inspiring Girls International and BlackRock
Since 2001, Inspiring Girls and BlackRock have
worked together to develop a unique and
transformative financial literacy workshop series.
From demystifying the functions of banks to looking
at emerging trends like cryptocurrency and
Blockchain, the workshops gives girls a fascinating
insight into the world of finance and how it affects
them now and in the future. Participants don’t just
gain critical knowledge but a sense of
independence and power over their own financial
futures.
So far, these workshops have been run with 860
girls across 12 countries in Latin America and
Europe. Inspiring Girls teams have collaborated
closely with BlackRock local offices, and BlackRock
women in each country have played a pivotal role in
developing and delivering content, showing their
commitment to our mission. By sharing their own
experience and information about their jobs as part
of the workshop, they become role models for girls
This program shows the power of collaboration
ensuring that girls are empowered through
education and inspired by the career opportunities
available to them within the financial sector. We are
delighted to work with BlackRock to help support a
generation of empowered and informed young
women.
