The investment by XPO, also based in Greenwich, will make it possible for 15 high school students to take live, after-school classes through a “mini-MBA” online program this year. In addition, the girls will spend a day with XPO”™s senior women leaders when they visit the company”™s headquarters.

“Our mission is to equip girls with the skills to become tomorrow”™s CEOs and innovators, and our partnership with XPO allows us to expand our reach in 2019,” said Girls With Impact CEO Jennifer Openshaw. “We”™ve found that when our students develop their own ventures aligned with their passions, it fuels their desire to learn more, become leaders and impact their future success and their world.”
