Educ8 Program started as a dream project of Gunay Aksoy. When she was younger, she selected for a study abroad program but she wasn’t allowed to go. The reason simply because she was a girl! Gunay says "that experience stayed with me and shaped how I think about opportunity, access, and what it means to truly dream big.  I studied engineering at the University of Toronto and later completed my MBA at NYU Stern, which led me into a 20+ year career across Finance and Fintech startups. During my career I always wanted to create something that gives young women exposure to a bigger world  and feel comfortable dreaming bigger for themselves.  Educ8 Program has grown into something much bigger than I originally imagined."

 

Every year  Educ8 family is growing. Who went through the program they still stay connected, support each other and create more projects together to empower new generation.
