Advancing the agenda in gender equity

The National Girls Collaborative Project (NGCP) is a network of networks. We bring together organizations committed to informing and encouraging girls to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).

NGCP supports and creates STEM experiences that are as diverse as the world we live in. We've been transforming STEM for 20 years.
