YWCA Glendale and Pasadena will offer TechGYRLS® program after-school in partnership with The City Of Pasadena Parks, Recreation, And Community Services Department.
The TechGYRLS® program seeks to empower young girls in the areas of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics) and to encourage them to pursue careers within these fields, particularly for underrepresented girls. TechGYRLS® is a place to dream, explore new ideas, learn new skills, and be creative through STEAM activities.
