Opportunity Pathways Programs

Responding to the under-representation of women, especially women of color, in STEM fields, YWCA provides after school Opportunity Pathways Programs for girls. Our instructors work to nourish girls’ interests in STEM, improve their in-school performance, and equip them with the workforce and life skills that they need to thrive.

We teach girls to resist the stereotypes that sometimes discourage women and girls from pursuing these fields and provide them with an opportunity for holistic growth. YWCA also expands the impact of our STEM curricula by supplying training, materials, and resources to partner organizations that offer after-school programming to low-income elementary school children.

STEM Impact

STEM Impact is a “train the trainer” initiative that makes it possible for us to reach many more children with our acclaimed STEM curricula.

STEM Stars

STEM Stars broadens 5th through 8th grade girls' interests and nurtures their confidence as knowledgeable STEM enthusiasts.

Every time I walked into the school, girls from the program run out of the library asking what we are doing in STEM Stars. They really look forward to it.
