The pandemic has been challenging for all of us, including organizations that engage in programming for after school programs and STEM outreach. Many of our partners have pivoted to virtual events so that they can continue to serve their communities. AstraFemina is right there with our partners-- our members have stepped up this past Summer and Fall and embraced the virtual format.
