HOLYOKE — Girls Inc. of the Valley will host Girl Day 2025 at City Hall on February 20 as part of Engineer Week. The focus of the day is to inspire and empower girls to explore STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) fields through hands-on activities, mentorship, and educational experiences.
Girl Day aligns with DiscoverE’s nationwide initiative to spark interest in engineering and encourage young girls to imagine their futures in these impactful careers.
Girl Day will start at 11 a.m. with a tour of City Hall and a gathering in the City Council Chamber where speakers will make brief presentations. Mayor Joshua A. Garcia will read a proclamation. There will be a flag-raising followed by lunch.
According to Girls Inc., women are underrepresented in STEM careers. Girl Day provides young girls with opportunities to see themselves as future engineers, scientists, and innovators. By feeding their interest early and providing supportive role models, the organization states, “we help pave the way for a more diverse and inclusive STEM workforce.”
