Words From our Volunteers!
"Ms. Kaye, I absolutely loved working with the students. They were always so enthusiastic and ready to learn new things about their environment."
~ B. Whyte, May 2019
" Stem4girls has been one of the best experiences in my undergraduate career, and truly thankful for the opportunities the organization has offered me. Director Kaye Crawford truly has put her heart and soul into S4G and it shines through working with students and volunteers. The organization has shown the importance of investing in our underserved communities. More importantly, that minority men and women are needed in STEM careers. I have enjoyed working with the members in creating lesson plans, science fairs and most importantly seeing the excitement of the students when they learn something new. S4G has been a positive experience in helping me grow as a person as well realizing my strengths and weaknesses.

"I have been apart of STEMS4Girls since December 2017, and I have watched it grow from a prodigious vision into a remarkable reality. I joined STEMS4Girls because I relate to its mission, I could see the lack of minorities, especially women in STEM fields. By being a part of this organization, I can help bridge that gap and bring STEM to underserved and overlooked communities. It also allows me to use and develop my interests and talents to help my community and strengthen our impact. I enjoy the feeling that the work that I do helps change the lives of others."
~Valencia Lawrence
"The kids are wonderful to teach, and their enthusiasm brightens my day. Your passion and pure devotion to the organization, to the dream, and to the kids themselves has been a true inspiration.
I'm so thankful you shared your dream with me. As I continue on my life path I will cherish these times."

Volunteering with STEMS4Girls has been a wonderful opportunity to get myself involved in the community. As a new resident, it's important for me to establish roots in a growing community, and figure out how I can make a positive impact. Growing up, I participated in a similar program, therefore, I'm grateful for the opportunity to give back and provide a similar impactful experience, encouraging interest in STEM.
