Lean In’s co-founders want to see more women leaders. They’re hoping a new program aimed at girls and young teens can help.

Women remain underrepresented in corporate leadership positions, with a 2022 report from the women’s empowerment nonprofit Lean In and consulting firm McKinsey & Company finding that while women make up 48% of entry-level jobs, they fill just 26% of c-suite roles. A separate USA TODAY analysis found women are outnumbered 5 to 1 in senior leadership roles among the nation’s 100 top publicly traded companies.
