Empowering the
future generation
of female leaders.

Empowering Women in Business (EWB) is a student-led organization at Bergen County Academies in Hackensack, NJ, and we're committed to closing the gender gap in business and entrepreneurship. We create a community where young women can explore all types of career pathways and opportunities.

Through workshops, speaker events, competitions, and community outreach, EWB empowers the next generation of female leaders. Whether you're interested in finance, marketing, hospitality, or starting your own business, there's a place for you here at EWB!

For BCA students who want to get involved

We meet at 7:30 AM in Upper Cafeteria or Room 180, you'll find our club leaders waiting outside the gym to pick up members on Tuesday mornings

We encourage ambitious students, regardless of academy or grade, to come join us and explore careers and opportunities in their fields of interest.
