About this Event
Our STEMulating Minds program will be back in session! Join us on Saturdays to support students grades 6-12 with a free day of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) and team-building activities. You can also become a tutor based on your schedule and the schedule of the student.

The Parris Foundation believes that attracting young people to STEM is the key to closing the achievement gap, and eradicating the disparity in academic performance between disadvantaged and privileged students. In an effort to break the cycle of poverty in underprivileged communities, The Parris Foundation equips disenfranchised students with the tools needed to pursue STEM disciplines, academically and professionally. The Parris Foundation’s access programs provide extended learning opportunities to supplement and enhance in-school learning. The U.S. has lagged behind other countries in terms of global competitiveness in recent years; competitiveness will only improve if we start molding the next generation of innovators at a young age.
If you'd like to proceed as a volunteer, please email [email protected] for your orientation.
