EnCorps STEM Teachers Program

Mission:

EnCorps advocates for STEM educational equity. Anchored in our belief that traditionally under-represented students belong in STEM, we prepare STEM role models to educate and inspire students who lack equitable access to a high-quality science, technology, engineering and math education.

Program Description:

The EnCorps STEMx Expert Tutor Program matches middle school students at high needs schools, currently under-performing in math, with volunteer STEMx tutors to meet virtually for two hours per week for two semesters for math tutoring and mentoring.
