Girls Set Go offers a transformative 2-Week 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.

Why are we hosting “Black Girls Converge”?

Black Girls Converge isn’t just an event—it’s a movement born from a deep-seated need to foster equity and opportunity in the STEM fields for young Black girls. We see a glaring gap in representation. In classrooms, labs, and boardrooms, the voices and faces of Black girls are conspicuously absent. It’s not for a lack of talent or potential; rather, it’s a systemic issue stemming from historical inequities and ongoing biases.

We host Black Girls Converge to challenge this status quo, to disrupt the narrative that suggests certain spaces are not meant for Black girls. We believe that every girl, regardless of her race or background, deserves equal access to education and opportunities in STEM. By creating a dedicated space for Black girls to converge, we aim to provide them with the support, resources, and encouragement they need to thrive in these fields.

Girls Set Go celebrates the brilliance, creativity, and innovation inherent in every Black girl. We recognize the unique challenges they face and strive to address them head-on. Through our annual gathering and mentorship programs, we strive to empower them to pursue their passions and dreams fearlessly.

But Black Girls Converge is more than just a one-day event. It’s a catalyst for change, a rallying cry for a brighter, more inclusive future. We know that the journey toward equity is long and arduous, but we are committed to walking it together. We host Black Girls Converge because we believe in the power of Black girls to change the world—and we’re here to ensure they have every opportunity to do so.
