    Equitable STEM Teacher Pathways

    33,000 STEM teacher shortage anticipated by 2030 in California. We will recruit 10,000 STEM teachers in the next 5 years and retain 90% by partnering with universities, schools, and industry to redesign the teaching profession on-site. This innovative approach aims to make teaching more sustainable and fulfilling, boosting recruitment and retention of qualified educators. Success ensures under-resourced communities gain consistent access to high-quality STEM teachers, narrowing the achievement gap.

    FIN CTE PREP

    There is a compelling need in our community to address the unmet needs of youth in grades 9-12 who have not found adequate support in schools. FIN CTE Prep has been designed to fill this void and provide a transformative educational experience for underserved students. Our project recognizes the unique challenges faced by systems-impacted youth. By focusing on the specific needs of foster and justice-involved youth, we strive to create an environment that nurtures their growth, development, and pursuit of successful futures.
