“Thanks to your generous support, we will be able to continue our mission of helping women and girls recognize their potential and explore, pursue, and excel in work that leads to economic independence. “
- Rhoni Basden, Executive Director of Vermont Works for Women (www.vtworksforwomen.org), 2020
“We are thrilled to have STEM Challenge Initiative (SCI)’s continued support. Because of the generosity, girls and gender non-conforming youth will graduate from Rosie’s Girls with a newfound sense of grit, resiliency, and an expanded sense of what is possible in their lives.
When asked what campers learned at Rosie’s Girls, they responded:
“Rosie’s Girls makes me feel like, even though I’m a kid, people are going to listen to me and I can do real cool things.“
“That women can do anything men can do.“
The exposure, skills and support that women and girls gain through our programs change both
individual lives and the broader world in which we live. Thank you again for your generosity and
for supporting our mission.”
