Developed in collaboration with Jobs for the Future (JFF) and STEM Next Opportunity Fund, the brief Investing in Out-of-School Time STEM is an Investment in a Robust, Diverse STEM Workforce, shares replicable examples and lessons learned aimed at helping move the needle for young people who represent future STEM employees, leaders, innovators, and consumers.
The brief focuses on the crucial role of high-quality, out-of-school time STEM programming play in broadening access to STEM outside of the K-12 school day, as well as reaching students in communities that are underrepresented in STEM jobs that offer family-sustaining wages.
