One of the more unusual items on the agenda is a trip that two sets of mentors and students are taking to the State House next Thursday along with Stemmerman and Margarita Otero-Alverez, the principal of the Longfellow School.
The group will meet with state legislators to discuss funding for the program and to teach the students how the government gives grants. Each year, the program receives about $13,000 from the Massachusetts Campus Compact, an agency which funds community service projects that gets state money.
"It's an interesting day for the girls to be politically active," Stemmermann says.
Project Athena runs under the Harvard Outward Bound Project, a GSE initiative affiliated with Outward Bound USA which teaches students at the school about experienced-based learning through a number of workshops and events each year.
It is also run in collaboration with the Center for Ventures in Girls' Education, a non-profit organization that designs and runs girls' programs.
