I stumbled across this program that’s called the [Informal STEM Education Equity Visionaries Program](https://informalscience.org/ise-equity-visionaries/). They’re currently taking applications for 2025 funding, and all you have to commit to is monthly meetings, writing a one page project proposal, and feedback to the organization. It looks like there would be some good networking opportunities with STEAM professionals and other informal educators. Thought I’d pass this along for anyone else who might be interested! They also just have a bunch of [resources](https://informalscience.org/resources/) on their website that can be helpful to anyone.

(I read about it in the [National Girls Collaborative Project](https://ngcproject.org/) newsletter, which is also a good resource)
