CAN’s MGM Journey

In Year One (2020 – 2021):

  • CAN worked closely with three STEAM Hubs and will be sharing resources out with the entire field.

Our goals for Year Two (2021-2022):

  1. Convene the MGM community of practice to share strategies for local implementation, and surface promising practices, challenges, and lessons learned. 
  2. Increase the reach and effectiveness of communication and outreach efforts. 
  3. Leverage participation in the Million Girls Moonshot initiative to support further partner engagement.
