Marshalls Supports Women Through New Initiative in 2026

Marshalls is proud to announce the second year of its Good Stuff Accelerator Program, a fully virtual initiative aimed at empowering women in their professional and personal lives. Applications for this transformative program opened on September 3, 2025, and will remain available until October 14, 2025. After a successful inaugural year, Marshalls is expanding its offerings to provide even more resources to help women unlock their true potential.

Overview of the Program

The Good Stuff Accelerator Program is a year-long experience that brings together a diverse group of 40 women from various backgrounds, all seeking to enhance their skills and achieve their goals. Participants will benefit from a wealth of resources including:

• - Live virtual sessions featuring expert mentorship, including insights from prominent figures like Vivian Tu, a best-selling author and founder of the financial equity platform, and Keltie Knight, an Emmy-winning co-host.
• - Peer coaching sessions through the 'Luminary Cru' groups, promoting accountability and mutual support among the participants.
• - A one-time grant of $5,000, specifically designed to help participants invest in their personal or professional development.
• - Access to the Luminary Collective PLUS, which offers additional resources such as virtual events, networking opportunities, and coworking spaces nationwide.

This initiative aligns with Marshalls’ desire to close the access gap many women face when seeking tools and support necessary for their growth. Research commissioned by Marshalls highlights a significant disparity; nearly one-third of women feel they lack the resources needed to improve their lives.

Program’s Impact on Participants

Feedback from the inaugural class of the Good Stuff Accelerator Program demonstrates the initiative's profound impact. Participants reported considerable progress thanks to the program's structured approach, community support, and financial backing. According to a survey conducted midway through the program, an impressive 95% of participants felt they were making strides toward their goals. Success stories include women launching their businesses, enhancing their self-confidence, and embarking on new career paths.

In their testimonials, participants emphasized the importance of community support and mentorship in facilitating change. As more women take on challenges and redefine what is possible for their futures, Marshalls is committed to ongoing support and empowerment.

Joining the Movement

Those interested in becoming part of this empowering journey are encouraged to apply. The application window is open until 11:59 p.m. EST on October 14, 2025. Participants will be selected in early December, with the program scheduled to run from January to December 2026.

Marshalls aims to continue breaking down barriers for women, enabling them to pursue their aspirations with newfound confidence and tools. By fostering an environment of empowerment and collaboration, the Good Stuff Accelerator Program stands as a beacon of hope for women looking to make meaningful advancements in their lives.
