Today’s STEM experiences lack diversity. Entire groups of youth do not identify with the field. To change this dynamic, our work empowers providers, educators, leaders, and youth, themselves.
NGCP believes STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) skills can be acquired by anyone, and fostered in everyone. Our initiatives build confidence and create a community of “lifelong STEM activators.” Through the power of collaboration, we spark curiosity and develop a passion for STEM. We also strengthen the capacity of programs by producing and sharing exemplary practices, research, and program models.
Our Strategic Direction
From 2022 to 2027, NGCP aims to increase collaborations by 25%, increasing our reach to over 25 million underserved youth across all U.S. states and territories.
