Program areas at STEM Next Opportunity Fund
STEM Next Opportunity Fund is a national, non-profit, non-partisan organization dedicated to scaling high-quality STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Math) learning to millions of youth with a particular focus on kids of color, girls and youth in under-resourced communities. Our mission is expanding exceptional STEM learning opportunities outside the classroom for all children everywhere. Through STEM learning in afterschool and summer, STEM Next creates pathways to economic opportunity and fuels innovation.STEM learning beyond the classroom inspires youth and prepares them for future success in STEM as well as many other fields. Outside the structured school day, hands-on STEM learning provides a fertile environment to experiment, build confidence and develop life skills like critical thinking, collaboration, perseverance, creativity and communication. Despite this power and potential, STEM learning in afterschool and summer is underutilized and under-prioritized across the U.S a critical issue STEM Next is working to solve as a national nonprofit.What We DoSTEM Next brings together a diversity of partners and leads synchronized efforts to achieve our common goal of equity in STEM. By leveraging partnerships, STEM Next mobilizes funding and accelerates what works to reach the 10 million young people served in more than 100,000 local afterschool and summer programs across all 50 states. For youth, our work increases STEM access, interest, identity, and career knowledge. Our three big strategic initiatives to Engage Learners Everywhere are:- Growing STEM Leaders: Raising awareness, building skills & connecting problem-solvers across communities- Advancing Policy & Research: Powering lasting change in STEM learning by putting ideas into action- Leading Moonshot Bets: Local, regional & national challenges that create seismic STEM learning shifts for youth & educatorsEvery $1 invested in STEM Next Opportunity Fund programs: - Enables more youth to build, invent and discover every afternoon- Sparks summer STEM learning opportunities for youth- Brings STEM opportunities to more families and communities across the U.S.Nationally and locally, STEM Next programs create seismic STEM learning shifts for millions of youth and hundreds of thousands of educators.
