Join the Girls SySTEM
We're so glad you're interested in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math! At GSM, we're not only confident that our mentorship program will grow your interests—we want it to be attuned to your needs! Before we get started, we need to know what role you intend to take on.
Our chapters include: Kingston, Toronto, Hamilton, Guelph, Niagara, Waterloo, Vancouver, and Ottawa. If you are not located in any of these cities, choose the location that is closest to you.
Our events teams host a few in person social events for each chapter throughout the year but they still host lots of virtual events so that everyone can attend!
