Get Involved. Volunteer!

Help today’s girls have equal potential to be tomorrow’s STEM leaders.

If She Can See It,
Then She Can Be It

 

Girls struggle to identify with STEM careers because they rarely see women in those fields. Because cultural norms define STEM jobs as being better suited for men, Design Connect Create believes it is critical for STEM professionals to volunteer and share their stories. We need volunteers of all cultures, ethnicities, backgrounds and career fields to share their STEM journeys.

Volunteer Opportunities

Are you a female STEM professional who would like to volunteer (in person or virtually) in June or July by sharing your STEM journey with our program participants? If you are interested, contact us about volunteering.

STEM Professionals: Mentor

Corporate and University Opportunities

Would your organization like to play a role in creating more equitable opportunities for girls in STEM? You can host a field trip or organize an employee panel of female STEM professionals to share insights about their careers. Or, introduce mentoring opportunities to your female employees.
