Millionaire’s Club Site Students Featured In Sundance Film


Student members at the Baltimore Leadership School for Young Women, a Baltimore City-based charter school and site of the newest Millionaire’s Club financial literacy experience, have been featured in the newly-premiered Sundance Film Festival documentary, STEP.

STEP is the true-life story of the girls’ high-school step team set against the background of the heart of Baltimore.

These young women learn to laugh, love and thrive – on and off the stage – even when the world seems to work against them. Empowered by their teachers, teammates, counselors, coaches and families, they chase their ultimate dreams: to win a step championship and to be accepted into college.

In addition to the school’s award-winning STEP team, the BLSFYW will be launching a MECU-sponsored Millionaire’s Club this fall when the regular school year begins.
