BAD GIRL ADVENTURES: Social Media

Bad Girl Ventures, Inc. (BGV) was founded in 2010 as an education and micro-lending organization serving woman-owned startup companies. Now expanding Columbus, BGV will continue to enable women to compete in the difficult startup arena by providing a competitive advantage through education and micro-loans. The mission of BGV is to create a culture that lifts up women and builds their great ideas into solid, sustainable, profitable enterprises that have a return for the business and the community.




An internship with BGV would include rallying the troops to get volunteers in place to teach our first classes in September and coach with female business owners in the program. We also need help spreading the word about the program (social media, networking) and planning our launch event for early September.



Internship is part-time and unpaid.



Interested students should send their resume to Michelle Galligan at michelle@badgirlventures.com.
