Why donate to EYH? Our program helps young women achieve economic self-sufficiency! And, donations to EYH are tax-deductible.

• You do the math — women without college degrees earn $486 less per week (per week!) than woman with college degrees.
• In 2005, only 37.5% of doctorates in science and engineering were awarded to women.
• We give young women who may not choose to attend college, diverse career options which will lead to fulfilling and well-paying careers.

A donation to EYH/N will..

• Encourage some young women who go on to become full-fledged STEM professionals.
• Inform girls that there are many varied possible STEM careers (that are enjoyable, pay well and contribute to society).
• Overcome prejudices that some girls may have about women who work in STEM.  Conferences demonstrate by example that these women are interesting, admirable, creative people who are active and fulfilled at work and in their personal lives.
• Educate girls that STEM courses are increasingly important in preparing them for many careers, including many that they and others don’t think of as based on math and science.
• Expand the horizons of some girls, especially those from disadvantaged backgrounds, encouraging them to raise their sights and expectations and to consider STEM or STEM-related careers.
• Increase girls’ comfort levels with and interest in STEM, so that they are more likely to be confident users of STEM products and services in their everyday lives.

We are a membership-supported organization and your financial support will help bring EYH conferences to more areas.
