we believe Black girls belong at the forefront of innovation
Girls Set Go is a STEM-focused nonprofit empowering Black girls to thrive and lead through education, mentorship, and opportunity.
Despite their talent and potential, Black girls remain significantly underrepresented in STEM due to systemic barriers, limited access, and lack of representation. Girls Set Go is changing that by starting early and intentionally.
We support high school girls (ages 14–18) through a transformative 12-week STEM Bootcamp and extended mentorship program that builds in-demand skills, confidence, and access to career pathways in technology, engineering, and entrepreneurship.
At Girls Set Go, we believe Black girls belong at the forefront of innovation. We are creating a more just, inventive, and equitable future for all of us by investing in their potential now.
