Wisconsin Girls Collaborative Project (WGCP)

Apply for a $1000 STEM Collaboration mini-grant for your project!


WGCP is designed to bring together organizations in Wisconsin that are committed to informing, encouraging and inspiring girls to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering, math and the skilled trades.  Local and regional collaborations across our state share these common goals and promote opportunities to share with and learn from each other. They vary in focus areas, populations served and partner organizations, but all work to increase gender equity in STEM fields.  WGCP is a member of the Great Lakes Girls Collaborative and the National Girls Collaborative.
