A girl’s future can begin with a spark: a question she’s encouraged to ask, a possibility she hadn’t considered, or a woman whose story helps her see a place for herself in STEM.
At AstraFemina, we bring girls together with accomplished women in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Through our partnerships with schools and community organizations, our members share their experiences, answer questions, and make STEM careers feel within reach, at no cost to the girls or organizations we serve.
Your gift helps bring these opportunities to more girls.
Our 2026 campaign, Ignite Her Future, supports this outreach and our growing efforts to encourage students who are already leading through our NextGen Junior Partnership Program. Together, we can reach more communities and help more girls explore where their curiosity could take them.
Help a girl see what’s possible. Help her imagine herself there.
Give today and ignite her future.
Your generosity helps us inspire the next generation of women in STEM. Demand for AstraFemina’s programs is growing faster than our resources. As a 100% volunteer-led nonprofit, nearly every dollar we raise goes directly to outreach which covers traveling to events with hundreds of girls, producing digital inspiration through our website and social media, and building new partnerships.

No other organization focuses on K-12 girls to provide free access to inspiring, world-class STEM role models on this scale. Over the past five years, we’ve already reached more than 37,000 girls through 20 nonprofit partnerships and we’re just getting started.
Founded in 2019 by five female astronauts, AstraFemina has grown our membership and our partnerships each year. Today, our member ranks include women leading in autonomous vehicles, genome analysis, biomedical and chemical engineering, energy, marine biology, meteorology, robotics, software entrepreneurship, and beyond. Our Partners, including USA Girl Scouts and AAUW Tech Trek, are leading innovators in providing inspirational, STEM-oriented opportunities for young audiences to meet our inspiring members!
Currently, only 27% of U.S. STEM workers are women. At the same time, thousands of STEM jobs go unfilled each year. That gap represents lost potential; both for the girls who never see themselves in these careers and for our society, which urgently needs their creativity and talent. That must change.
STEM careers offer women the opportunity to participate in the most exciting realms of discovery and innovation that shape our future and invigorate our national workforce. By sharing our stories as women in STEM, we provide concrete examples of what a STEM career could look like and how it is possible to change the world by believing in yourself and your technical abilities. Our stories show girls what is possible as we encourage them to follow in our footsteps.
If you would like to learn more about our mission or have a conversation about the impact of what we do, we would love to talk with you.
With gratitude, we welcome you as part of this journey.
