JerseySTEM Girls Who Code Clubs are led by Facilitators, who are 18+ and can be computer scientists, parents, college students or volunteers from any STEM background or field. Our Club Facilitators guide Club girls through the curriculum , helping them to build sisterhood within the Club and learn to use computer science to impact their community.
Clubs are run by 2-4 facilitators and are supported by our curriculum team and provided training as they join.
Be the change you want to see. Volunteer 2 hours/week an make a difference in the life or Girls in your community.
Coaches coach about 2 hours per week for 10-12 weeks - usually a spring semester and/or fall semester. Up front there is about 2 hours of on boarding and training, plus a background check. There is an hour long conference call or meeting with training manager that happens prior to the first club meeting, where we make sure you are prepared, know where to go, etc. And during the semester you can expect to have weekly or biweekly "check ins" as needed where you can provide feedback, resolve issues, answer questions with someone at JerseySTEM. The commute to/from the club site is in addition to the club meeting time, but generally not more than 15-20 min. We tend to start clubs in mid-September to early Oct; and again end of January or early February.

Mission Statement
JerseySTEM is a grassroots 501(c) nonprofit organization dedicated to bringing Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math ("STEM") education to girls grade 5-8 from underserved communities in New Jersey. We partner with socially responsible companies and their employees, youth organizations in underserved communities, and civic-minded college students and universities. Together we develop and deliver innovative, hands-on, and online afterschool projects and inquiry-based learning opportunities that develop teamwork, 21st-century problem-solving skills, and self-esteem.
Description
Incorporated in 2013, JerseySTEM started bringing afterschool enrichment programs to middle school girls in 2015.
We have since provided 1,000 students with exposure to afterschool enrichment programs delivering more than 20,000 hours of instruction. Students learn to code, build robots, solve problems and through that process gain self-esteem and confidence that they can be the leaders of tomorrow.
