The future of STEM depends on the choices we make today and on who is supported to shape it.
​
For more than 30 years, Science Club for Girls has proven that when barriers are removed and girls from underrepresented communities are given access to free, hands-on STEM and mentors who believe in them, they do more than participate. They lead. Our alumni attend college at extraordinary rates, pursue STEM majors far beyond national averages, and carry with them the confidence, resilience, and problem-solving skills our future workforce depends on.
Today, that future is at a turning point.
​
Across the country, funding for equity-driven, girls-focused STEM programs is becoming increasingly uncertain. Long standing commitments are being reconsidered, not because the impact is in question, but because caution is being prioritized over courage. These choices have consequences that extend far beyond any single organization. They shape who gets to build, discover, and lead in the decades ahead.
​
The Catalyst Awards bring together leaders who understand that moments like this demand action. This annual celebration honors individuals and organizations who are not stepping back, but stepping forward to advance equity in STEM and invest in the next generation of diverse talent.
​
Catalyst sponsors and supporters make it possible for Science Club for Girls to keep STEM free, hands-on, and accessible. Their investment fuels materials, training for Mentors, and expanded opportunities for girls whose ideas, leadership, and innovation will shape our economy and society.
​
Sponsoring or attending the Catalyst Awards is more than a gesture of support. It is a clear statement about the kind of future you believe in. One where access does not determine potential, and where progress does not stall when conditions become complex.
​
Join us at the Catalyst Awards to celebrate leadership, affirm shared values, and stand with the partners who know that investing in girls is essential to the future of STEM.
