measured by the number of students served
and whether they meet educational
benchmarks as measured by post‐program
questionnaires.

SAfG will offer 540 hands‐on after‐school STEM classes
at 10 Richmond elementary schools, serving 300 girls in K‐6th grades from September 2022‐May 2023 for an

our surveys consistently show 75% or more of our girls
want to return for more SAfG sessions. Part of our
success is that families participate in their girls' STEM journey through teacher communication & virtual Family
STEAM Nights too.
