Celebrating Tech Trek & Meet Our 2024 Tech Trek Graduates

A panel of former campers will talk about their experience at Tech Trek and discuss what they learned. In addition, there will be a slide show of camp activities from Whittier College. Tech Trek is a unique opportunity for seventh grade girls to experience a week of college life while participating in hands-on STEM lessons and activities. This meeting will be our annual Tech Trek fundraiser. We hope to raise enough money to send 12 students to camp at UC Santa Barbara or Whittier College this summer.Tech Trek costs $1200 per camper.

For more than 130 years, AAUW has worked as a national grassroots organization to improve the lives of millions of women and their families. And now that we’ve won the fight to give women equal access to education, we’re taking on one of the most defining issues of our time: gender equity.As a local branch of AAUW, our focus is in meeting the vision and mission of AAUW in the greater Long Beach area by providing programs, education, and resources.

We are non-partisan. We have been around since 1920, support opportunities for activism and have monthly program meetings that promote education and equity. not just for women and girls, but also for the City of Long Beach. We strongly value and encourage a diverse membership.  We also have multiple interests groups.

You’ve come to the right place if you,

• have an Associate Degree or higher (or Equivalent), or are a college or University student
•  believe in Pay Equity, Voting Rights, a woman’s choice to make health decisions about her own body, and equal rights for girls and boys, men and women.

The Long Beach branch is dynamic and engaged in the community.  We look forward to 2024-2025 as a year of change and growth. We want to continue the theme of reengaging with members, and expanding our membership by recruiting younger, diverse members who represent Long Beach!
