    Overview

    Founded in 1994, Science Club for Girls is a registered 501(c)3 organization that fosters excitement, confidence, and literacy in STEM for girls and young women from underrepresented communities with free, experiential community-based programs

    With women making up less than 26 percent of the STEM workforce — and Black and Hispanic women at less than 4 percent — SCFG addresses a critical need, offering a continuum of engaging activities in STEM for K-8 girls, junior mentoring and leadership experiences for high school girls, and adult mentoring and role modeling by committed women with STEM careers.

    Our mentors serve as STEM role models, guiding participants in inquiry-based learning and showing them what’s possible in STEM. Mentors dedicate two hours a week to building meaningful, bidirectional relationships with participants and Junior Mentors over an 8-week semester.
