Washington state ranks among the top states in the nation in the concentration of STEM jobs, and opportunities are increasing rapidly. By 2030, 70% of high-demand, family-sustaining wage jobs available in our state will require postsecondary degree credentials; 67% of those will require postsecondary STEM credentials. But Washington students are not equitably or adequately prepared to take advantage of these opportunities. Today, only 40% of all students are on track to attain postsecondary credential. Worse yet, students of color, rural students, girls and young women, and students living in poverty still lack access to these pathways—they face disparities early on and fall further behind as they move through the education system. In our state STEM is at the forefront of discovery, on the frontlines of creative 21st century problem-solving, and serves as one of the largest pathways to family-sustaining wage careers and long-term economic security. STEM pathways have promise like few others in Washington and it is imperative that Black, Brown, and indigenous students, rural and low-income students, and girls have access. Washington STEM is working to ensure that all students have equal opportunity to benefit from the transformational possibilities that STEM has to offer.

STEM Advantage's mission is to mentor, prepare and inspire young women and underserved communities to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) through paid internships, mentorships and scholarships. This 360-degree approach is designed to provide the support needed to keep promising scholars in a STEM program, including the skills and work experience that will assist them in landing their first position after graduation, plus graduate with less student debt. In 2012 we launched our program at California State University, Dominguez Hills, a highly diverse, urban university that serves the Los Angeles metropolitan area. In 2014 we expanded our program to include students at California State University, Los Angeles, which is also highly diverse. Our goal "23 by 2023" is to offer our program at all 23 California State University (CSU) campuses by 2023. The CSU is the nation's largest four-year public university system with 23 campuses. The CSU stretches 800 miles from Humboldt in the north to San Diego in the South, and educates approximately 460,000 students. We selected the CSU as our university partner because the CSU: educates the most ethnically, economically and academically diverse student body in the nation provides more than half of all undergraduate degrees granted to California's Latino, African American and Native American students is the nation's largest four-year public university system; more than a third of CSU students are first generation college students.

Girls in the Game empowers girls to find their voice, discover their strength, and build confidence through fun and active sports, health, and leadership programs. Since its founding in 1995, the organization has served more than 65,000 girls, primarily from under-resourced communities in Chicago. With a focus on the whole girl—addressing her physical, emotional, and mental well-being—Girls in the Game offers age-appropriate, evidence-based programming for girls ages 7 to 18. These programs are designed to keep girls engaged from childhood through adolescence, equipping them with lifelong skills to lead healthy, confident, and successful lives. Our programs include After School Programs, Teen Programs, one-day events, and a Summer Camp. What began as a small effort to ensure girls had access to sports has grown into a comprehensive organization that listens to what girls need—whether it’s leadership development, health education, or physical activity—and meets them where they are. With access to sports in public schools constantly being cut, these girls may not have any other way to learn some of these lessons that only playing sports can teach: things like teamwork, how to lose gracefully and how to lead a team. Today, Girls in the Game serves a diverse population, offering free, site-based programming and transportation support to break down barriers to participation. By creating inclusive, girl-centered spaces, Girls in the Game helps girls speak up, stand out, and inspire future generations. When you donate to Girls in the Game, you help girls across Chicago become strong leaders in their communities.
