GAINS Program

GAINS stands for Girls Achieving in Non-Traditional Subjects.  GAINS runs from 6th grade through 12th grade in most secondary SCUSD schools. 

The program's main goal is to encourage girls interest in math and science careers, as well as to introduce them to careers that they might not normally consider.  

GAINS meets monthly on a schedule Wednesday during 6th grade lunch in the library -- 7th and 8th grade girls may get a pass from their 4th period teacher to attend.  During these meetings, girls have the opportunity to hear a female speaker from the community talk about the career path she took to get to where she is today.  They will learn about the many different careers available out in the world, as well as educational opportunity.  Pizza and water are provided at meetings, however members may eat their normal lunch in the library as well. 

Attendance is required at scheduled events!!  If students cannot attend an event, they must inform Mrs. Kodi at akodi@scusd.net.

GAINS stresses personal responsibility.

TO OUR BUCHSER COMMUNITY:  We are always looking for new and exciting speakers to come and visit our GAINS girls.  If you know of any influential women in the workforce, please contact Mrs. Kodi.  .
