Due to the current health situation, Girlstart has not been able to host groups of volunteers for the past several months. But that doesn’t mean there isn’t work to be done, and thankfully volunteers have helped from the safety and comfort of their homes. Throughout the months of April and May, dozens of volunteers have prepped materials as well as assembled kits to serve over 1000 girls across the country for our Summer Camp at Home program!

We are so grateful for everyone’s support and flexibility as we find new ways to volunteer together!

This spring, a group from Tableau Software joined us at the Girlstart Austin offices to help prepare materials for our after school programs and community events.

As a group, they cut materials for a variety of lessons, including tulle & PVC pipes for plastic rescue, notecards for bee hummers, and toilet paper rolls for marshmallow slingshots. We’d like to give a big thank you for their help and support!

In partnership with H-E-B Free First Sundays at the Bullock Museum, Girlstart presented our annual Deep in the Heart of STEM event on Sunday, February 2nd.

Deep in the Heart of STEM is a great way for families to explore the connections between history and STEM through interactive demos and hands-on activities. We had several volunteers attend and lead activities such as wind energy and pinwheels, drag racing cars, and LED light-up wearables.
