SCIENTIFIC ADVENTURES FOR GIRLS

 SAfG firmly believes the challenge to close the gender and minority achievement gap is an all hands-on deck effort which must include inputs from every stakeholder invested in this call to action:  families, school districts, teachers, after school program agencies, policymakers, corporations, public libraries, museums, etc.

SAfG strives to connect with all players in the community to maximize resources and therefore impact.  SAfG works with families to expose opportunities to STEM events and STEM careers; with school districts to help bolster their schools' science education and to help provide professional development to their science teachers; with after school agencies to add a high-quality STEM component to their curriculum; with corporations to provide opportunities for their employees to volunteer in SAfG classes as role models in STEM; with public libraries to add high-quality STEM components to their programming; with politicians to advise on what STEM education needs on a community and elementary school levels; and with universities to help prepare future elementary science teachers by providing on-the-job training opportunities in SAfG classes.  

Scientific Adventures for Girls offers many opportunities to support girls in STEM, whether you’re a high school student, a parent, company, or STEM professional!  Watch the video below to learn more about some of our volunteer roles, then sign up for one help us to empower girls to know they belong in STEM.
