The Million Girls Moonshot Toolkit is a collection of resources and tools for all 50 Mott Afterschool States Networks, their partners and programs, to utilize for the Million Girls Moonshot Initiative.
All transformative practice resources have been vetted using a culturally responsive and equity lens to foster inclusive STEM learning spaces for all youth, particularly girls. We will continue to add and modify resources to meet the needs of the Networks.

Recruit the Volunteers You Need
In partnership with VolunteerMatch, through the Million Girls Moonshot, STEM Next provides the platform to promote your organization and recruit volunteers to your cause. Together, let’s re-imagine who can engineer, who can build, who can make.
What You Receive:



A Toolkit: Recruiting Volunteers For Your Youth
VolunteerMatch and STEM Next Opportunity Fund are excited to announce their partnership to bring more STEM experts to youth-serving organizations to volunteer in a variety of ways.
Whether your organizations need STEM mentors, event support (like project judges or speakers), or technical assistance with a project (like web development), the volunteers available through this partnership are committed STEM professionals working in some of the world’s most notable companies.
This toolkit contains resources Networks or large organizations can use to introduce programs to the VolunteerMatch/STEM Next platform, get them registered, and begin posting volunteer opportunities!
