STEM Enrichment Coordinator (UW Women's Center)
 
 
 
The UW Women’s Center is a catalyst for change. We disrupt cycles of oppression and break down gender-based barriers through transformational education programs, leadership development, and advocacy for girls and womxn. We believe womxn’s rights are human rights. Making Connections is a proven college-readiness program that provides four years of life-changing wrap-around support and enrichment services to under-served students and their families in the greater Seattle area. Our mission is to help low-income and first-generation high school students, especially girls, graduate on time, attend post-secondary education, and pursue a career in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM). The goal of the Making Connections program is to assist 105 underrepresented students in the greater Seattle area in improving academically and preparing for college. Our program holds at least twelve educational events every program year, including site visits to local STEM companies, financial aid and college application workshops, and STEM-focused movie nights and panel discussions intended to help students feel excited about science, technology, and math. These events combine with regular after-school tutoring and mentoring to provide academic and social support to under-served students and help them realize their educational and career goals. Making Connections is dedicated to seeing our students increase their interest and knowledge of STEM fields and careers. By providing workshops and site visits that expose students to STEM fields and career types, Making Connections gives participants the chance to see themselves as potential researchers, doctors, or engineers. This position is contingent on funding.
