Ready to get started?

Step 1: Let us know you want to start a GAINS club by sending us an email gains@greenwichacademy.org.

Step 2: Recruit a faculty advisor/sponsor - GAINS is school-based so you will need a faculty member!

Identify a teacher or administrator at your school who is supportive of girls in STEM! It is helpful to have an advisor who works with students in STEM and is interested in giving time to the club. The faculty GAINS advisor provides guidance as you navigate the specifics of starting a GAINS club in the unique environment of your school.

Step 3: Have your faculty advisor complete the club registration form.

Step 4: Select student leaders. GAINS Leaders participate in a leadership training program and meet virtually with leaders from clubs around the country to discuss STEM and share ideas! We recommend two student leaders - there is power in numbers!
