Girls Set Go offers a transformative 4 – 12 Weeks Bootcamp and extended Mentoring program aimed at equipping young Black women (early college and fresh graduates) with the tools and resources they need to thrive, rather than merely survive. Our program empowers participants to discover new skills, explore diverse career paths, and even venture into entrepreneurship.

We recognize and address the digital divide and career skills gaps that Black girls often encounter. Without access to professional growth opportunities and a supportive network, many find themselves stuck in jobs with limited prospects for advancement.

For girls eager to enhance their skills and explore various career avenues, Girls Set Go provides a dynamic learning platform.

Join our community of aspiring young Black women for engaging training sessions, masterclasses, and live Q&A sessions with accomplished professionals across multiple STEM fields.

FACILITATING STEM CAREER OPPORTUNITIES THROUGH INTERNSHIP PLACEMENT

The right internship placements can smooth the path to STEM careers for Black girls, providing hands-on experience and invaluable opportunities for professional growth and success.

Girls Set Go is committed to providing internship opportunities for Black girls in partnership with leading tech companies. Our plan is to create a pipeline that connects talented young Black women with valuable internship experiences in the technology sector.

Internships offer invaluable real-world experience, and at Girls Set Go, we are committed to ensuring that Black girls have equitable access to these opportunities. To achieve this goal, we will actively seek out companies dedicated to diversity and inclusion to forge partnerships for internship placements. These partnerships will not only provide our participants with hands-on experience in their niche STEM industry but also contribute to fostering greater diversity and representation within these companies. By identifying and collaborating with organizations that share our commitment to inclusivity, we can create meaningful internship opportunities that empower Black girls to thrive in the workforce.

The Rationale - STEM Boot Camp

Despite representing over 15% of the U.S. population under age 18, Black girls account for only 2% of the STEM workforce (National Science Foundation, 2023). Systemic barriers such as limited access to STEM education, lack of representation, and absence of mentorship continue to prevent capable and curious girls from pursuing and persisting in STEM.

STEM careers are among the fastest-growing and highest-paying sectors, and early exposure
significantly increases long-term interest and success. Focusing on high school girls (ages 14–18) allows us to reach students at a pivotal moment as they begin to make critical decisions about their education and future careers.

Girls Set Go delivers a transformative 12-week STEM Bootcamp followed by an extended mentorship program designed to equip young Black women, particularly high school with the tools, confidence, and community they need to thrive in today’s workforce.

Our program goes beyond survival. It empowers participants to gain in-demand skills, explore diverse career pathways—including entrepreneurship and build the professional networks often out of reach due to systemic barriers. We intentionally address the digital divide and the career-readiness gaps that many Black girls face, especially when access to quality training and mentorship is limited.

Girls Set Go provides a dynamic, supportive, and future-focused learning environment for individuals who are prepared to grow, pivot, or dream bigger.
