I lead the STEM Steering committee going on 3 years. We have been able to profoundly impact the future of girls gaining confidence and self-awareness to consider a career in STEM.
Apareció and Jessica George bring unending energy, professionalism and a community focus to help girls and women in underserved areas to matter and be part of a broader solution.
Aparecio takes a multi-faceted approach towards solving the pressing needs of young women - elevating and enabling them to reaching their highest potential. Jessica George and her team are coordinated, enthusiastic, productive, focused and extremely professional no matter what the event or project they are focused on.
The Aparecio Foundation goes above and beyond to help at risk girls to better their lives and the lives of others. Recently, I had the pleasure of working with the foundation on a STEM project for high school students.
Being a part of the development of this organization has been such a rewarding experience. Through a mentorship framework, this organization seeks ways to assist young women overcome the obstacles and challenges one can face in pursuit of a well-rounded education. Through exploring various opportunities around the city of Chicago and abroad and having the support of mentors, participants will be able to decide the best path for them to take in order to be successful and achieve their goals throughout high school, higher learning and beyond. It's a pleasure and honor to be a part of this organization.
