Join Esteem Girls Inc. in Making a Difference

Our mission is to empower girls by building their self-esteem and confidence to pursue Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) fields. It is important to encourage them to reach their full potential. Esteem Girls Inc. believes that girls no matter their color or socioeconomic background should be given equal opportunities in career aspirations.

Founded in 2016, Esteem Girls Inc. is emerging as a ground breaking opportunity for girls specifically those from under-resourced communities and minority girls in the Philadelphia metro area. Our inspiration to start such a program arise from the local statistics and national trends in STEM as well as the standardized test scores amongst female students in grades 3-8 from the School District of Philadelphia. These students scored dramatically lower compared to other students.

At Esteem Girls, our vision is to create a world where every girl, regardless of race, background, or socioeconomic status, has the opportunity to thrive as a leader in STEM, and beyond. We envision a future where:

• Girls lead innovation across science, technology, and engineering, breaking barriers and closing the gender gap in traditionally male-dominated fields.

Esteem Girls aspires to build a generation of confident, innovative, and compassionate leaders who not only excel in STEM but also contribute to the well-being and prosperity of their communities, driving lasting change on a global scale.
