Thanks to donors like you, Career Girls produced 4 innovative multi-day Virtual Camps in 2021, connecting girls with women role models in Artificial Intelligence and Robotics, Business and IPO, Financial Literacy, and Environmental Sciences and Climate Change professions.
In our Environmental Science and Climate Change Virtual Camp, girls learned about the importance of Climate Change advocacy and innovative solutions (such as using oysters to clean our oceans!) that can have a big impact on their futures.
“When I heard the other kids' ideas in the breakout sessions, I thought to myself how amazing the future will be if all of us take action in helping the environment.” - Leilani, 5th grade
Throughout the course of these Virtual Camps in 2021, our team at Career Girls have all said that what they’ve felt most this year is inspired. After another year living through a pandemic, being able to virtually meet so many hardworking, thoughtful, and ambitious girls in our Virtual Camps boosted our spirits. With girls like these leading the way, our world and our future seems brighter and more hopeful.
In addition, we have the data to back this up. As one example from our Imagination Index (a monitoring and evaluation tool we use to measure our impact), 100% of girls from our Environmental Science & Climate Change Virtual Camp reported significant knowledge gain on how climate change is currently impacting the earth.
With your help, we’re looking forward to conducting 6 Virtual Camps in 2022 and continuing to provide them free-of-charge for every girl who wants to attend. Thank you for your support!
Warm wishes,
Linda
