Our Mission

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. UPDATE

Who We Are

STEM needs to be where kids are — schools and community centers, after-school, and on weekends — and introduced at a young age when they are most curious. At Science Club for Girls, we focus on girls and young women from groups underrepresented in STEM (by income, race and/or first generation college-bound) by creating free science clubs covering a variety of STEM subjects. Over the last eleven years, >90% of our high school juniors and seniors have gone on to college (up 20% over the national average) and of those girls, >55% of them choose to major in STEM. SCFG participants stay interested in science through high school, select more challenging math and science courses and are aware of STEM career possibilities because of SCFG.
