New Location, Renewed Commitment.
The All Girls STEM Society Virginia Chapter was founded upon co - founder Eleni Fafoutis' departure from California and relocation to Virginia Beach, Virginia. Here in Virginia, Eleni re - founded the All Girls STEM Society as a new chapter, with a new mission. This chapter is committed to not only helping young women find a passion for STEM, but also to encourage underprivileged and minority students, both boys and girls, to pursue a career in STEM as well, as they too are severely underrepresented in the world of science and engineering. While at Hampton Roads, the Virginia Chapter is proud to have worked with underprivileged students form the Virginia Beach, Portsmouth, and Norfolk locations.
The Virginia Chapter relocated to Charlottesville, Virginia, where students at the University of Virginia have not only committed to keeping the same spirit of service that AGSS was founded upon in San Diego, but also intend to build upon that commitment to expand the groups that we serve. From San Diego, to the Hamptons area, and now Charlottesville, we hope to continue to expand the reach of our work and provide accessible resources to explore the STEM field to the community around us.
