Overview

Mission

To You From Us mission is to help children and families living in marginalized areas with resources to help break the cycle of poverty and become self-sufficient through STEM: Service, Training, Education and Mentoring.

What it reported doing in 2024

Our STEAM Pathways program provided 56 students with hands-on exploration in science, technology, engineering, arts, agriculture, math and life skills. STEM Camp students completed 750 hours of training in animation and coding and each received a free personal laptop to continue their learning. Additional classes in art, agriculture and culinary skills expanded creativity, critical thinking and practical knowledge. A major success included one student from our arts-based annual Youth Fashion Show being discovered during practice and cast in a film that premiered on Amazon Prime and Tubi. This opportunity transformed his life and opened new doors for his family. Our STEAM Pathways program inspires youth to envision and actively pursue futures once believed out of reach by engaging them in diverse disciplines that nurture creativity, spark innovation and build pathways to high-demand careers.
