Community driven global impacts

Since our conception, Women in STEM has been entirely volunteer-led, with programming led by students, for students! We foster local community hubs, and keep our chapters connected through our active online community. Our three pillars: Networking, Mentorship, and Outreach take community based approaches to fostering gender parity in STEM, creating social supports that allow girls and genderqueer students to engage richly with the sciences. We host global events, provide mentorship, educational resources, volunteering opportunities, and much more!
