Education/Training - Providence, RI, US
Based in Providence, RI, Sprout and S.T.E.M. is a volunteer-based organization focused on providing the educationally disadvantaged with access to after-school tutoring in the sciences. SAS is largely comprised of Providence-area university students who donate their time to tutor and mentor young high school scholars. The organization understands the correlation between social resources and education and aims to provide public high school students with professional networking, academic enhancement, and insight into post-secondary education. Sprout and S.T.E.M. was established in July of 2019 following the release of a state-funded study of the Providence public schools. The Johns Hopkins School of Education reported, among other discouraging findings, that Providence student support is insufficient. SAS does not set out to restore the capital city's school system from its current degeneration; rather, we aim to advocate for its forgotten students, especially those who aspire to continue their education collegiately.SAS mentors typically represent the surrounding Providence-area universities, including Brown University, Providence College, the University of Rhode Island, and Rhode Island College. While our mentors are diverse and individualistic, there is noticeable similarity in their collective character, ability, and integrity. And, as our name suggests, SAS requires our mentors demonstrate an understanding of fundamental principles in science and mathematics.
