The Canadian Association for Girls in Science (CAGIS)

Published purpose

Through this 20-month systemic change project, The Canadian Association for Girls and Science (CAGIS) will help advance the economic security and prosperity of girls and gender-diverse youth in the Ontario, Prairies, and Pacific Regions. This will be achieved by breaking barriers for them to entering STEM occupations which are among the highest-paid and fastest-growing in the country. The project activities will follow evidence-based methods, focusing on partnership development and training within the STEM sector, applying this knowledge to build opportunities for CAGIS youth, and include follow-up to encourage continued work within CAGIS and beyond. The supplemental funds will be used to create additional materials to facilitate event planning and to do a light internal website review.
