IGNITE Volunteers are Representational Role Models
IGNITE Worldwide serves any student who identifies as a young woman or girl, regardless of assignment at birth. The IGNITE Program also welcomes students who identify as non-binary or gender non-conforming and seek woman and girl-focused STEM programming.
IGNITE Worldwide is committed to providing participating students with relatable role models who reflect their own intersectional identities, socio-economic statuses, and diverse backgrounds.
We encourage women and gender-diverse individuals of all backgrounds to volunteer as panelists. Individuals of all genders are welcome to volunteer in non-panelist roles and join the greater IGNITE community as allies to gender equity in STEM.
