The mission of the Boston-based Science Club for Girls is to increase the self-confidence and science literacy of K–12th grade girls belonging to groups that are underrepresented in the sciences, through free, after-school programs in experiential learning, mentorship, and leadership opportunities. Girls work with mentor-scientists who model and foster leadership, affirm college as an expectation, and promote careers in science and technology as viable goals and options.

In partnership with the Boston Scientific Foundation, this grant helped to expand services into two new communities as well as allow students to participate in an end-of-year trip to the Boston Museum of Science.
