Through our "Kids in the Middle" High School STEM pilot program focused on building up young people through mentoring and coaching, we connect with like-minded individuals and partners to support youth from under-resourced families who are directly affected by violence while still demonstrating an interest in STEM. The goal is to remove the barriers to a successful future and have these kids live more balanced, fulfilling, and purpose-driven lives.
