Making an Impact

Proving What’s Possible

95% of participants think they can do well in science and 90% think they can do well in math (Science Club for Girls)

76% can use the engineering design process to solve problems (Girlstart)

For the first time, over 50% of all girls will take algebra in 8th Grade (Esperanza Academy)

Confidence. Leadership. STEM Success.

Emphasis on STEM​

Women make up only 34% of the STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) workforce, yet entry-level wages for STEM careers in Massachusetts are nearly twice those of other jobs.

“When I was a child, Science Club for Girls (SCFG) provided me with a safe, welcoming environment to learn about science, and it sparked my passion to pursue STEM as a career. Even as a mentor, SCFG continues to impact me. I feel immensely fulfilled and honored to serve as a mentor, instill a love for STEM in my mentees and give back to the organization.”

Sarah Girma, Student at Harvard University
