Stem Facilitator

We're looking for enthusiastic, culturally aware STEM Program Facilitators who can walk into a room of young women from underserved communities and make coding, data, finance, or AI feel like it was made for them. Because it was.

You'll specialize in one of four tracks and lead hands-on, interactive workshops that connect STEM skills to real life, real careers, and real possibilities. This is not a lecture-and-PowerPoint role. We need facilitators who build culture, spark curiosity, and show up as living proof that there is space for these girls in tech.

CHOOSE YOUR TRACK

Facilitators specialize in ONE of the following four tracks:

CodeHER Track

Teach programming fundamentals using Python, JavaScript, or HTML/CSS. Guide participants through real projects like building apps, designing games, or creating tools that solve problems in their communities.

Data 4HER Track

Introduce data analysis concepts through Google Sheets, Excel, basic SQL, and data visualization. Participants learn to read data, build dashboards, and tell stories with numbers using examples they actually care about.

Finance 4HER Track

Teach budgeting, saving, investing, credit, and financial planning in the culturally relevant, Gen Z voice our curriculum is built in. Help participants build the financial confidence to make real decisions for their futures.

AI 4HER Track

Demystify AI and machine learning through hands-on, practical exploration. Cover AI tools, ethics, prompt engineering, and how AI is reshaping industries and careers, all in a way that centers these girls as future builders, not just users.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
