The HerRise STEM Squad is a one-of-a-kind 8-month Career Exploration and Summer Enrichment program offering monthly spring and fall activities and a 6-week summer career employment curriculum as part of an intensive, multi-session program intended to build upon career exploration for young girls.
This program is specially designed to strengthen girl’s confidence, build teamwork and develop collaboration skills, explore leadership potential and acquire in-demand STEM skills. Scholars earn a wage during the summer program and learn financial literacy.

- positively preparing students in there communities for careers of the future
