Mission Statement
Rosie Riveters is a 501c3 nonprofit whose mission is to equip and empower preschool to middle school girls from diverse backgrounds to be strong, confident, and competent in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) by providing a fun space for to imagine, learn, build, and play.
Description
It’s a well-known fact that women are underrepresented in STEM fields - they make up only 28% of the STEM workforce in the U.S. - and our organization aims to shift that staggering statistic. But it’s about more than just STEM. By age six, girls began to lose confidence in their academic abilities. Rosie Riveters addresses both of these issues by building girls’ confidence via STEM projects that emphasize productive struggle. We provide a safe space to fail, and actively promote an environment where participants get things wrong before they get them right.
Since Rosie Riveters founding in 2015, we have served over 13K participants, built partnerships with more than 10 community-serving organizations ranging from public school systems to affordable housing corporations, and achieved overwhelming positive results.
According to cumulative data, 96% of participants enjoyed the program and 71% were inspired to further explore STEM.
