Imagine Science
A powerful collaboration, managed by STEM Next, of four of the nation’s largest youth-serving organizations—Boys & Girls Clubs of America, Girls Inc., the National 4-H Council, and the YMCA of the USA—joined forces to launch a shared mission -to build excitement and confidence in young people from low-income communities in pursuing STEM careers.
This unprecedented partnership leveraged organizational strengths and today is working in eleven communities nationwide serving over 40,000 under-represented youth.
