Who we are

Latino STEM Alliance is a 501c3 certified Nonprofit organization, founded in March 2010 by STEM professionals.

What we do

Latino STEM Alliance partners with schools, private industry, community groups, and academia to bring STEM to underserved youth that would otherwise not have such an opportunity.

How we do it

Latino STEM Alliance identifies existing and successful STEM enrichment programs by researching the national landscape. We then bring the programs to our partner schools and community groups and deliver the activities to the youth they serve, at their facility.

Goal:

Enable underserved youth to experience hands-on STEM enrichment activities in order to inspire them to consider STEM related careers.
