Camp Inspire
Camp Inspire is a STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math) summer program for girls in 5th-12th grade. We create rich, engaging experiences for our youth. We offer high-quality activities that stimulate curiosity and creativity, which includes educational enrichment, cultural arts, career education and community service. We also create opportunities for caring relationships to form between young people and adults.
Our program empowers young individuals to explore career options, discover personal interests and strengths, learn about work culture, build professional networks, and develop skills while earning a stipend over the summer.
Community Service
Opportunities to our youth to train them to become innovative citizens, people who see beyond surface causes and effect change in their community and beyond. Our youth volunteers begin to question why some people face hunger and what can I do to change this, debated solutions and begin conversations between race and poverty.
