EmpowHer’s Social Justice STEAM Initiative serves as a catalyst for girls from marginalized communities to gain the skills and resources necessary to access higher education and high-paying employment opportunities, along with financial literacy and other life skills education, while simultaneously challenging our youth to connect STEAM modalities with the social justice issues they care about most.

E-STEAM Programs
EmpowHer Institute will examine the use of STEAM as a catalyst to address social justice issues impacting marginalized communities of color through weekly in- and out-of-school classes and Social Justice STEAM Summer Camp for BIPOC girls in grades 7-12 grades. Students will lead and design projects that explore social justice issues such as climate change, the war on drugs, racism, sexism, and homophobia have on marginalized communities, and offer STEAM-based solutions to address these issues and create systemic change.
