STEM FOR LATINA GIRLS INITIATIVE
In 2014, in partnership with the Mexican Consulate of San Jose, we launched the STEM FOR LATINA GIRLS initiative. This initiative takes 20-25 Latina girls to local technology companies as a way of introducing them to careers in Silicon Valley’s technology sector. In addition to company tours, we provide workshops, panel presentations, and a special closing celebration. Throughout the week, girls have opportunities to meet employees of the companies, listen and learn from their college to careers stories, and ask questions to help them learn more about STEM related careers. The closing celebration is a great way to reflect on their experiences and share these experiences with their parents. For many of our girls, this initiative provides them with their first opportunity to visit a technology company. Companies interested in sponsoring a day by hosting our girls are welcome!
