Equipping
Our goal is to reach ONE MILLION GIRLS* by 2030 by reaching educators and advocating to eliminate the barriers girls face to persist in STEM. ONE MILLION GIRLS What We Do We equip and galvanize gatekeepers – out-of-school time (OST) educators and STEM professionals – with gender responsive, culturally relevant curriculum and equity training that empowers them to act as an advocate for BIPOC girls pursuing their STEM aspirations.
Educators and STEM professionals serve as STEM gatekeepers, with the power to disrupt inequitable systems and pave the way for the next generation of STEM leaders. Through our equity curriculum and training, we equip gatekeepers to create an inclusive, safe space where girls gain a sense of belonging, build their knowledge, and can bring their whole selves to STEM exploration.
After 20+ years in the field, we know that STEM education** is not working for girls — particularly Black, Indigenous, and Latina girls living in marginalized communities. The data continually shows how few Black, Indigenous, and Latina women are STEM professionals.
