Where We Are...
and Where We're Going
A cornerstone of the IGNITE Worldwide Program is to remove barriers and provide an opportunity to girls and gender-diverse students who may not otherwise gain exposure to high-wage, high-demand jobs. That’s why we intentionally focus our attention to communities where the need is greatest.
Strategic Partners and IGNITE Worldwide form a collaborative, multi-year partnership to identifying expansion area or community, developing key performance indicators, and setting a timeline.

Multi-Year Funding Support
IGNITE Worldwide is the answer to achieving gender equity in STEM. We work directly with teachers during the school day to provide programming that promotes STEM education and career advancement for girls and gender-diverse youth from historically marginalized communities. Through hands-on events that connect students with role models who live and work in their communities, students recognize new possibilities for their futures.
