AFS Global STEM ACCELERATORS

Women around the world currently make up more than half of the college-educated workforce.  However, STEM fields are made up of only 28% women. Women and girls who desire to learn more about STEM often face a challenging set of circumstances in fields that are traditionally dominated by men. That’s why we have created a program dedicated to the future of women in STEM fields.    For   more   information   click   here
