Techbridge Girls is excited to announce that applications are being accepted to join the Spring 2024 STEM Equity Learning Community. All out-of-school time (OST) supervisors and administrators for programs that serve Black, Indigenous, and Latina girls and gender-expansive youth are encouraged to apply.
The STEM Equity Learning Community is designed to equip OST program managers, administrators, and site directors so that more equitable learning spaces are available for Black, Indigenous, and Latina girls (and gender-expensive youth).
Through the STEM Equity Learning Community, participants will:
-
Explore how to use asset-based frameworks and practices to combat inequities in OST STEM.
-
Experience culturally relevant and gender-responsive strategies that increase STEM belonging and persistence.
-
Deconstruct identity and bias, equipping participants to engage staff in the reflection and action required to facilitate equitable STEM programming.
-
Develop STEM equity action steps for their OST program.
-
Become part of a unique national community of OST leaders who are growing the number of equitable STEM learning spaces.
-
Receive $1000 stipend for their participation in the learning community, evaluation, and research.
