The Flight Crew is a cohort of youth advocates, ages 13-18, who are committed to creating equity for girls in STEM by elevating youth voices and inspiring future STEM leaders. The Afterschool Alliance is looking for young scientists, engineers, inventors, builders, and leaders who have been inspired by their experiences outside of the school classroom. Flight Crew members will participate in six months of virtual programming where they will hone their leadership and advocacy skills using their own experiences from afterschool STEM learning. Those selected will be eligible for a $1,000 stipend, an all-expense paid trip to the annual Million Girls Moonshot summer 2022 event, and an all-expense paid opportunity to go to Space Camp for summer 2023.

 

The Flight Crew application is open to youth ages 13 to 18 who identify as female, gender-expansive, or outside of the identity of cis-gender male. Applicants will share their views in a written, video, or art piece. Applications are due February 25, 2022.
