Teen-Turn’s Post

This month, I am excited to be taking on a new challenge: running my first marathon – the Dublin Marathon – alongside my dad (and coach), Stephen McCann. To add to the experience, we have decided to run in support of Teen-Turn, an organisation that does incredible work providing valuable opportunities and support for girls in STEM. Teen-Turn empowers teenage girls, particularly those from underserved communities, to explore hands-on STEM experiences. The goal? To help them envision futures in STEM fields and make informed decisions about their education and careers. From after-school programmes to work placements, mentoring, and alumnae career development, Teen-Turn currently supports over 1,500 girls on their journey from “Junior Cert to Job.” As a proud Teen-Turn volunteer for the past seven years, starting back in my first semester at University College Cork, I have been continually inspired by the incredible impact they make. We hope to raise funds to support this amazing work, so any donation - big or small - would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your support. Link to donate: https://lnkd.in/eEevq65Q
