NSSA Mission and Vision Statement
Our mission is to introduce the marvels of all areas of science to children on a systematic, frequent and regularly scheduled basis, enabling our underserved and at-risk students to experience, explore and personalize the resulting discoveries. Technology & Science centers embedded in the community, embraced by the school system and freely available to children, parents and teachers alike have proven to be successful interveners needed in the metropolitan and impoverished areas around the country. We seek to create a center in Mt. Vernon that will provide students with access and exposure to enriched STEM learning that can empower them with the desire, motivation and skills needed to pursue careers as doctors, scientists, technologists and engineers.
Our vision of success includes directly impacting the lives of the 9,000 students attending public school in Mount Vernon each year with a state-of-the-art facility, an informal learning center. Our facility will enhance academic studies and outcomes and influence career choices for years to come, further validating the community value and impact of such well-thought-out initiatives for urban areas.
In alignment with our mission, we are planning our first majoy fundraising gala event for later this year. We would welcome the support, assistance and guidance of individuals with experience with gala events to help us maximize our success. If you are able to help, please contact us. Thanks for your consideration and look forwward to hearing from you.

Mission Statement
CHALLENGE - Mount Vernon children are falling behind at an alarming and accelerating rate as they progress through the school system’s various milestones. The outlook for them is bleak unless we successfully intervene and interrupt this downward spiral. Evidence, including state standardized test scores, suggests they are not prepared for participation in our global economy, especially regarding STEM-based subject matter. The results are and will continue be a community with higher than average poverty, unemployment and crime.
