Rooted in our core values
  • Belonging
    Every girl deserves to feel safe, seen, and loved exactly as she is.
  • Joy & Wellness
    We protect Black and Brown girl joy and center rest, healing, and play.
  • Creativity & Curiosity
    STEAAM is a playground for questions, innovation, art, and experimentation.
  • Community Power
    We honor Philly’s neighborhoods, elders, and lived wisdom as expert knowledge.
Why intergenerational mentors matter

When girls are surrounded by mentors who reflect their stories and stand in solidarity with them, they:

  • See new possibilities for who they can be in STEM, arts, wellness, and leadership.
  • Build confidence by hearing real stories of “how I got here” from women and elders they trust.
  • Stay rooted in culture, community, and identity while reaching toward their future.

Whether you are early in your career, a college student, a teaching artist, or an elder with deep life experience, your presence can shift what’s possible for a girl in Philadelphia.
