Great Science for Girls Initiative

Great Science for Girls Initiative

We're looking for new partners!

MCCOY's Great Science for Girls project - a program that encourages young people to see that science is for everyone - is expanding. And that means your organization gets a great opportunity to offer high-quality, research-based science programming in your afterschool programs. Read more and contact us today to get started!

Last year, more than 10 local organizations implemented GSFG using the nationally recognized Wonderwise curricula. Wonderwise is a hands-on, minds-on approach that gives your young people an incredible array of options to learn science. MCCOY provides this curricula for you at no charge. What else do you get? We'll provide all the program materials, orientation, and technical assistance you need throughout your implementation. One of the best parts of GSFG is that you can make this program fit the needs of your organization. Want to do a Saturday science club? No problem. Need an enriching summer science experience? Sounds great!

With an emphasis on gender equity and inquiry-based science projects, we want you to join the rest of the GSFG team starting this winter or next spring. Please contact Chris Collins, christopher.collins@mccoyouth.org for an application and any questions you might have about how the initiative can fit with your specific goals. More information can be found on this Great Science for Girls overview, and here's a link to the 4-H Wonderwise curriculu
