| Other | PART III - ORGANIZATION'S MISSION - GIRLSTART'S MISSION IS TO INCREASE GIRLS' INTEREST AND ENGAGEMENT IN SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, ENGINEERING, AND MATH (STEM) THROUGH INNOVATIVE, NATIONALLY-RECOGNIZED INFORMAL STEM EDUCATION PROGRAMS. BY EMPOWERING MORE GIRLS TO CONTINUE STEM STUDIES, WE CAN HELP ADDRESS OUR NATION'S STEM WORKFORCE INEQUITIES AND IMPACT INNOVATION AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IN AMERICA AND ACROSS THE GLOBE. TO ACCOMPLISH ITS MISSION, GIRLSTART DEVELOPS AND IMPLEMENTS A RANGE OF INNOVATIVE, RESEARCH- AND STANDARDS-BASED EDUCATION AND MENTORSHIP PROGRAMS DESIGNED TO PROMOTE GIRLS' EARLY ENGAGEMENT AND ACADEMIC SUCCESS IN STEM, ENCOURAGE GIRLS ASPIRATIONS AND PERSISTENCE IN STEM EDUCATION AND CAREERS, AND INCUBATE A TALENTED AND DIVERSE STEM WORKFORCE. FOUNDED IN AUSTIN, TEXAS, GIRLSTART IS THE LARGEST AND LONGEST-RUNNING COMMUNITY-BASED INFORMAL STEM EDUCATION NONPROFIT IN THE NATION SPECIFICALLY DEDICATED TO EMPOWERING AND EQUIPPING GIRLS IN STEM THROUGH YEAR-ROUND STEM EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMMING.
