Impact
Behind every program is a young person who stopped doubting themselves, a parent who finally knew what was available, a neighbor who got connected in time.
What we're seeing
Kids come into Accelerated Math saying they don't like math and they're not good at it. By the middle of the program they can't wait to get there — and they can't wait to compete. Success feeds the next success.
See Accelerated MathMore than 90% of the parents at our Camp Ignite sites say they want their kids to return. That is why the camp keeps growing — east side and west side of Detroit — and why organizations keep inviting us in.
See Camp IgniteIn STEM to the Power of Entrepreneurship, young people stop being an audience for STEM and start owning it — pitching what they built, seeing themselves as employers and inventors. Some are already employing their parents. This is the right-now generation.
See STEM to the Power of EntrepreneurshipA family that didn't know free tutoring existed. A senior who found the in-home care she qualified for. A young person aging out of foster care who had somewhere to turn. That is the gap closing — one introduction at a time.
