Aspire Artemis The aim of this programme is to empower youth, provide skills training and expand their potential, giving them encouragement and hope.

This programme is focused on building confidence in young people to prepare them to succeed in their future careers. The Aspire Artemis foundation promotes and supports cultural exchange, language learning and holistic educational training opportunities to youth in vulnerable and marginalized communities across the globe. Our programs strive to bridge the gap between theory, policy, and practice. Our mission is to empower women and girls to be independent, self sufficient contributors to the society. At the Aspire Artemis Foundation we utilize a unique three-pronged approach we call EMI (or “Emmie”). We believe that supplementary education, structured in-person mentorship, and internship experiences bridge the gap and support young people as they shape their own paths for their future. Role models also play an essential role in encouraging and retaining women and girls in schools and in the workforce. We highlight stories of success and failures in STEM. ( https://www.aspireartemis.org/stem-journeys )

We encourage young people to take active roles in their communities by becoming action oriented "doers". We share candid and authentic stories of what happens when people are inspired by women to overcome their inner fears and conquer obstacles that they may face. (https://www.aspireartemis.org/inspiring-women )

We also promote the incorporation of arts and culture in STEM education and programming. (https://www.aspireartemis.org/campaign-4 ). At the foundation, we create holistic training programs and experiences that build capacity, develop skills, prepare for careers, offer support while in career, build confidence, and empower young people and women. The Aspire Artemis Foundation fosters creativity and innovation through an inclusive, multilateral partnerships approach. We undertake programing globally. These programmes focus on creative and innovative solutions for underutilized potential. We promote responsible citizenship, volunteerism, and solution oriented growth opportunities that foster self confidence, make a social impact, and enrich communities. Youth are provided hands on opportunities for training and career advancement through internships with mentors and changemakers. Through this approach we place the next generation of leaders on the path to success.

🌍 PRINCIPLED LEADERSHIP: WOMEN AT THE FOREFRONT

As the United Nations approaches its eighth decade, the world is at a defining moment for multilateralism.

What kind of leadership will be needed to navigate an increasingly complex global landscape? How can inclusive leadership strengthen trust, legitimacy, and effectiveness in international institutions? And how can women, philanthropy, finance, the private sector, and the next generation of leaders help shape the future of global cooperation?

Join us on 21 September 2026 during UNGA for a high-level dialogue bringing together leaders from government, the United Nations, diplomacy, philanthropy, finance, business, real estate, and youth movements.

✨ Principled Leadership: Women at the Forefront will explore:

🔹 Inclusive leadership and the future of multilateralism
🔹 Women shaping global governance
🔹 Financing the future of the UN and humanitarian action
🔹 Philanthropy, impact investment, and public-private partnerships
🔹 Youth and the next generation of global leadership

From the legacy of Eleanor Roosevelt and the foundations of the international human rights system to the women shaping diplomacy, finance, industry, and global development today, this conversation asks an essential question:

Is this a moment of historic opportunity for inclusive leadership—and how can we translate that opportunity into meaningful action?

📅 21 September 2026
📍 Conference Room 6, United Nations Headquarters New York | UNGA
🎟️ Places are limited. RSVP required.

Come be part of a timely conversation about the leadership, partnerships, and ideas that can shape the next chapter of multilateralism.

👉 RSVP today and join the dialogue: https://bit.ly/AAF-UNGA-high-level-2026

A high-level dialogue on women’s leadership, inclusive governance, and the future of multilateralism at a pivotal moment for the UN.

✨ Throwback Thursday ✨

It’s Throwback Thursday and oh do we have a throwback teaser for you!

“I wanna be in the room where it happens…”

And on Day 3 of the Aspire Artemis Foundation’s High-Level Event, our youngest innovators were in the room — building, imagining, exploring and proving exactly why we fight to bridge the digital divide.

As world leaders return from climate meetings in Belém, we remember the why:
🌍 Who are we protecting the planet for?
🌱 Who will inherit the technologies we are shaping today?
💡 Whose imagination lights the path forward?
On Day 3 — our “Energize Day” — we witnessed the answer in real time.

🔥 The Room Where Innovation Happens

We welcomed 4th graders from the Brooklyn Charter School into a world many of them had never seen before — Manhattan tech hubs, Microsoft’s spaces, hands-on labs bursting with energy, wonder, and possibility.

These young creators turned discarded Amazon boxes into solar-powered cars, a beautiful double tribute to the Amazon rainforest as climate negotiators met in Brazil.

They didn’t just build circuits; they built confidence.

They didn’t just explore sustainability; they explored their own potential.

They stepped into a room where future leaders are shaped — and they owned it.

⚡ Day 3 Highlights: Building Strong Minds & Strong Bodies

Day 3 Facilitators:
* Hermina Johnny, Executive Director – Aspire Artemis Foundation
* Michelle Gall, Executive Director, DigitalGirl Inc. Opening & Overview
* Toni Robinson, Director of Programming – DigitalGirl Inc., Energy Foundations
* Barbara Romualdo, Program Coordinator – DigitalGir Inc. - Sustainability & the 3 R’s
* Stepan Novatorskyi, Lead Instructor – Circuits & Solar Cars
* Joanne Hunt, Principal, Brooklyn Charter School

What students explored:
🔋 What is energy?
🌞 How does the sun power our world?
🔌 How do circuits make our daily lives possible?
🌿 What does sustainability look like in action?🚗 How can a cardboard box become a solar car?

Their hands-on mission:
Build a functioning solar-powered vehicle using recycled materials.

Their takeaway challenge:
“Which type of sustainable energy would YOU choose for your home?”

🎶 “In the room where it happens…”
Day 3 embodied the heart of our 2025 theme:
Culture, Health, Trade & the Role of Artificial Intelligence — Bridging the Digital Divide through Collective Action.

These children reminded us that:
* Innovation thrives when creativity meets opportunity.
* STEAM education is the gateway to equity.
* AI, data, art, music, and wellness build stronger minds AND stronger bodies.
* The Global South must be equipped not just to use technology — but to create it.
* Local ideas can become exportable treasures, strengthening markets, resilience, and communities.

This is the future we invest in.

This is why partnerships with Governments, International Organizations, tech leaders, global NGOs, and community institutions matter.

This is how we make sure no one is left behind.

💛 A Moment They’ll Never Forget — And Neither Will We

Seeing these students step into a world of innovation — many for the first time — reminded us that the next generation is not waiting for permission.

They are ready.
They are brilliant.
They are the reason we continue this work.

To our partners, supporters, and future collaborators:

Thank you for helping us open the doors to the rooms where it happens.

Because when young people are invited in…✨ they don’t just observe the future — they build it. ✨
