Seeds of Change is a leadership development program that provides training and support to advance girls and women in STEM through an integrated curriculum of mentoring, training, and skills development. The Seeds of Change curriculum is grounded in research about how gender bias manifests in leadership development and opportunities, and the program's goal is to encourage age- and stage-appropriate awareness, skills and resources that will support girls and young women in STEM as they navigate critical transitions in school and in their careers.

In the Seeds of Change Educator Training Program, we partner with educators from schools and organizations who are committed to advancing girls in STEM and train them in how to lead the Seeds of Change program with the youth they serve. Through a three-day Program Kick-off and four scheduled Touchpoint Meetings throughout the program year, Educator Partners are provided with support to run the program as well as the opportunity to reflect on and further develop their own leadership.

Educator Partners commit to approximately 50 hours of engagement over the course of the program, which includes:

• Completing the in-person Program Kick-off held at Stanford on September 14, 15 and 21, 2024. 
• Attending four virtual Touchpoint Meetings during the 2024-25 school year
• Implementing and evaluating the Seeds of Change curriculum in their local context
