The news comes as a continuation of the brand’s commitment to help bridge the access gap – the lack of access to tools, resources and community that help enable women to unlock the life they want to live. The Marshalls Good Stuff Accelerator Program -now open for applications- seeks 40 women to embark on this transformative experience, complete with expert-led workshops, peer coaching, access to educational tools and a one-time grant.
In partnership withLuminary,a global professional and personal education and networking platform, the Good Stuff Accelerator Program participants will receive access to valuable resources for one year including:
— Live virtual workshops with experts and role modelslike longtime Marshalls partner, actor and producerPriyanka Chopra Jonas, E! News TV PersonalityKeltie Knightand more.
— Peer coachingthrough monthly meetings with a small community of carefully matched, Good Stuff Accelerator Program participants.
— A Luminary membership that includes access to their vast library of tools, resources, content and community, 25+ monthly virtual events, networking, and co-working spaces across the country.
— A one-time grant of $5,000,informed by the average one-year cost of the tools and resources women surveyed indicate they most need to catalyze their journey toward their ideal lives.
“Many women feel they are lacking the access or resources needed to achieve their ideal life,” states Sonya Cosentini, Vice President, Brand Marketing, Marshalls. “We’re excited to continue our commitment to helping bridge this gap through our third Marshalls Good Stuff Social Club and the launch of The Good Stuff Accelerator Program. We believe these resources can be an impactful catalyst in helping women start achieving their ambitions.”
The Accelerator Program builds on the success of The Marshalls Good Stuff Social Club, which will host its third event in less than a year on Saturday, October 5thin Chicago. The all-day event gives women the opportunity to connect with a dynamic group of experts across a range of motivational topics including Priyanka Chopra Jonas, who served as the keynote speaker at the brand’s first social club in New York City.
“Supporting women on their journeys is something I’m really passionate about, so I’m excited to continue partnering with Marshalls as a mentor for The Good Stuff Accelerator Program and to be back at The Good Stuff Social Club,” says Chopra Jonas. “These programs are all about giving women the real tools and resources they need to go after their dreams, and I’m honored to be part of it—both as a mentor and by sharing my own experiences as a keynote speaker.”
