An Inside Look at First Horizon
The Power of the Purse
An Inside Look is your middle school student’s chance to learn about career opportunities at leading companies, network with professionals from diverse backgrounds, and meet other girls with an interest in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM).
Successful financial planning is essential to achieving her STEM dreams and ambitions.

- Meet women leaders and male allies at First Horizon Bank
- Explore career opportunities and connect with business matter experts
- Get an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour of a local bank while learning hands-on banking techniques
- Participate in speed mentoring with inspiring women role models who are breaking barriers in banking

Play Like a Girl Leadership Academy with U.S. Bank
We're exploring the M in STEM!
April is Financial Literacy Month and we understand that financial literacy at an early age is important for girls everywhere.
Everyone deserves a fair shot at financial freedom and economic opportunity. More than managing money, financial literacy is about creating equal opportunity—giving every girl a chance at her best life, whether that’s having a great career, building wealth for a secure future, or giving back to her community.
Play Like a Girl launched its inaugural class of its brand new Leadership Academy during Women’s History Month. With funding from U.S. Bank Foundation, this multi-session leadership development program for middle school girls continues with a special series of virtual mentoring sessions that explore topics related to confidence, leadership, and money as well as careers in the financial services industry.
That's right! Your girls will learn all about math and money - for FREE.
Together, we can help girls achieve their wildest dreams, and level the playing field for generations to come. Women professionals and male allies across U.S. Bank will share inspirational stories and knowledge about their careers.
Girls will be matched for small-group mentoring with U.S. Bank employee volunteers. In their mentoring circles, mentees will also learn about the high school courses and extracurricular activities they need to start preparing for a career in finance.
