Million Girls Moonshot

As part of our Millions Girls Moonshot initiative MOST & Maryland MENTOR are partnering to provide training focused on STEM and Mentoring with an emphasis on Women in STEM in March & April. This series will provide youth mentors with the tools and knowledge they need to build robust youth development programs in science and technology.

STEM in OST is a bridge between youth development and education that offers young people hands-on, intentional and relevant learning opportunities. The OST environment is perfectly suited for students to pursue STEM avenues and inspire further exploration of STEM careers.
