Currenlty, SIFE GWU is working on “Let’s Do Yogis” Project.
The “Let’s Do Yogis” project, thanks to a Walmart Women’s Economic Empowerment grant, was created to enhance the business acumen of aspiring, entrepreneurial women, increasing their likelihood of success in the competitive yoga training marketplace. Coordinated by Students in Free Enterprise (SIFE.org), the success of this project is thanks to the wonderful support of participants from George Washington University and affiliates, the local business and non-profit community, and a special appearance by fitness expert Serena Scanzillo (www.leanonserena.com).
Upcoming project is Financial Literacy Program with Kristen, who runs drumlady.com. You can check details through drumlady.com
