ABOUT THIS PROGRAM

The EcoLogik Leadership Academy creates a continuum of support for the young women who have participated in the summer experience or apprenticeship program by offering ongoing learning and internship opportunities, career development, female mentorship, and a community of alumnae.

“EcoLogik helps girls peer into the world of science ... and helps spread the word that there are people that support females in science.”
