Encourage your girls and gender-expansive youth to pursue STE(A)M careers! Bring the Girls Run STEM program to your site. STE(A)M professionals solve some of the world's most pressing problems using ingenuity, teamwork, expertise, and creativity. These fields need everyone!
Interest in STEM
As of 2019, only 34% of STEM professionals were women. Research shows that girls' self-efficacy in STEM begins to decline in middle school, even when they are capable in math and science. Gender-expansive youth face systemic barriers to participation in STE(A)M. The Ann Drake Girls in STEM Initiative aims to remove barriers in STE(A)M so that girls and gender-expansive youth can use their unique gifts to pursue whatever career they choose.
