Our goal is to reach ONE MILLION GIRLS* by 2030 by reaching educators and advocating to eliminate the barriers girls face to persist in STEM.

We equip and galvanize gatekeepers – out-of-school time (OST) educators and STEM professionals – with gender responsive, culturally relevant curriculum and equity training that empowers them to act as an advocate for BIPOC girls pursuing their STEM aspirations.

Equipping Educators

Educators and STEM professionals serve as STEM gatekeepers, with the power to disrupt inequitable systems and pave the way for the next generation of STEM leaders. Through our equity curriculum and training, we equip gatekeepers to create an inclusive, safe space where girls gain a sense of belonging, build their knowledge, and can bring their whole selves to STEM exploration.

Advocacy & Awareness

After 20+ years in the field, we know that STEM education** is not working for girls — particularly Black, Indigenous, and Latina girls living in marginalized communities. The data continually shows how few Black, Indigenous, and Latina women are STEM professionals.

*includes STEM education at the K-12 level; community settings, such as afterschool and summer programs; professional development, such as mentoring programs

Our Reach

In the last five years, Techbridge Girls has grown significantly through national partnerships and our Expanding Your Horizons (EYH) network. Our national footprint enables us to serve up to 25K girls annually with our eye on a million in 10 years.

From Our Community

Women of color are among the most underrepresented population in the STEMM ecosystem, making up only 11.6 percent of the science and engineering workforce. Women, especially women of color, face outsized barriers within the STEMM ecosystem that start early and persist throughout the education and career pipeline.
It’s clear that STEM education is not working for Black, Indigenous, and Latina girls. In the last couple of decades, despite increased investment in STEM education, representation for Black, Indigenous, and Latina girls in STEM careers has remained stagnant.
For the past two decades, advocates have focused on creating a more diverse workforce by engaging more girls and Black and brown youth in science, technology, engineering and math, or education programs. On the surface, this strategy makes sense — if more girls and Black and brown youth enter the education-to- career pipeline, the workforce in these fields should eventually mirror our diverse society.
Techbridge Girls (TBG) serves Black, Indigenous, and all girls of color, which includes cis girls, trans youth, gender non-conforming, and/or non-binary youth who experience(d) girlhood and economic insecurity as a part of their journey.
