About STEM Valley Mentoring Coalition

Location:

3145 Hamilton Blvd. Byass, Allentown, PA 18103, US

Mission Statement

To provide high-impact STEM mentoring for low-income, minority, and/or female students living in the Lehigh Valley.

Description

Founded by the Da Vinci Science Center in 2014, the partnership includes more than 40 community organizations, corporations, and public school systems. The coalition is one of ten groups leading a national movement to change the way that students are mentored toward careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields, as chosen through the US2020 City Competition in 2014. The coalition hopes to provide youth with at least ten hours of direct and effective contact with a STEM mentor, typically in a group setting. By enabling extended contact between mentors and students, providing mentorship training, and pursuing rigorous evaluation practices, we will ensure the effectiveness of your contribution and help create a national model for successful STEM mentorship in cities.
