SCFGLive! Program Intern

Science Club for Girls (SCFG), a Cambridge-based non-profit established in 1994, seeks

dynamic, resourceful and collaborative individuals with experience in digital media, video

production, and education. SCFG builds self-confidence, excitement and literacy in science,

technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) for girls and gender expansive youth in

grades K-12, particularly from communities underrepresented in STEM. We do this by providing

free, experiential and leadership programs in STEM in Greater Boston and Cambridge. This is

made possible through the support of our many mentor-scientists and volunteers. Our staff is

passionate, committed and entrepreneurial.

date, our team has produced over 70 episodes which have collectively had over 300,000 views!
