WELCOME TO THE CAPITAL STEM ALLIANCE
The Capital STEM Alliance believes that every young person in the Capital region will have equitable access and opportunities to engage in STEM learning and career preparation experiences that offer multiple pathways to post-secondary, family-wage careers and growth opportunities.

We convene stakeholders in community business and industry, and education to ensure equitable access to STEM education, Career Explore, Career Prep and Career Launch partnerships, and family-wage occupations that will bolster our economic outlook for generations to come.
