About the Herestory Institute

At The Herestory Institute, we believe life skills are the foundation of a thriving future. Our mission is to equip children with essential tools—like financial literacy, cultural awareness, and design thinking—so they can grow into confident, capable individuals ready to take on the world.

With a deep love for storytelling and culture at our core, we design every course to spark curiosity, foster critical thinking, and create meaningful connections. From mastering money smarts to uncovering vibrant histories, our programs bridge creativity and education, empowering kids to see the world—and themselves—in inspiring new ways.

Because when children truly understand the world around them, they don’t just grow—they build a brighter future for the world.
