Class Matters Inc. empowers underrepresented "at-hope" youth ages (11-18) to become scholars, skilled professionals, and servant leaders through hands-on STEM education, mentorship, and leadership training. We believe that STEM is more than a career pathway; it is a mindset. By teaching the STEM mindset, students learn problem-solving, decision-making, and conflict resolution skills that support both their short-term academic growth and long-term post-secondary planning. Since its founding, Class Matters has impacted 4,319 underrepresented youth. Utilizing a combination of virtual and in-person sessions, Class Matters' impact on underserved communities continue to grow. 7 5 0 127 0 0 157397 211789 0 0 0 157397 211789 3450 48053 0 0 0 3180 147737 165460 151187 213513 6210 -1724 17835 5348 0 0 17835 5348 Increase youth exposure, provide access, and develop skills in science, technology, engineering, and math-related studies (STEM), degrees, and careers. 0 0 57758 18000 57800 Spark Summer Camp A 6-week, 6 hour per day fully STEM-based experience, providing a real-world, mock work experience. 43577 2500 45000 STEM Like Me Bi-annual event simulates pre-college to careers day in the life of a future STEM professional, shadowing experiences to youth to aid future planning for life after high school. 52873 23750 53000 ESTEAM / Recognition Matters Bi-monthly leadership, mentoring, & college prep program, utilizing workshops, team building, college & corporate tours, job shadowing, STEM fairs & experiences.
