Our program

The world is her classroom.

One week abroad. Real S.T.E.A.M. in her hands. A Black girl comes home seeing herself — and her future — completely differently.

Program overview

What is it?

Black Girls Go Global offers a transformative one-week S.T.E.A.M.-focused educational experience that takes learning beyond the classroom and into the world. Through international travel, participants immerse themselves in a host country’s culture while exploring critical global issues tied to one or more of the United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals.

Each program blends hands-on academic engagement with cultural immersion and meaningful recreational activities — empowering Black girls to become globally minded leaders equipped to drive change in their communities and beyond.
