While NGCP programs and partners are in every state, we have 33 Collaborative Leadership Teams in 41 states, which facilitate collaboration between more than 42,500 organizations that serve over 20.2 million girls and 10 million boys. Local Collaboratives have an extensive network of organizations and individuals engaged in pursuing this common goal to share with and learn from each other. Collaboratives vary in focus areas and populations served, and include higher education institutions, community-based organizations, and private nonprofits, but all work to increase gender equity in STEM fields. Each Collaborative has a defined region, acting as a hub for local programs to coordinate resources and reach girl-serving STEM programs in the community.
