About the Organization

AFS Intercultural Programs is an international, voluntary, non-governmental, non-profit organization that provides intercultural learning opportunities to help people develop the knowledge, skills and understanding needed to create a more just and peaceful world.

About the Fellowship

An extraordinary, full scholarship program for girls who are active global citizens and energized to help solve some of today’s biggest global challenges.

The Global STEM Accelerators program is an award-winning virtual exchange that tackles gender barriers in STEM and helps young women to become changemakers in their communities. Over 12 weeks, girls worldwide (ages 15-17.5) engage in a hands-on curriculum—developed with the University of Pennsylvania Center for Social Impact Strategy (Penn CSIS)—that integrates STEM learning, social impact, and global competence. Scholars develop prototypes addressing global challenges, earn the Advanced Certificate on Global Competence for Social Impact from AFS and Penn CSIS, and join a network of global alumni.
