STEM Impact
We empower Silicon Valley youth volunteers, ages 5 to 18, to give back to their communities through hands-on projects, including our STEM Workshops for underprivileged chilren. Discover how these volunteers, like 16-year-old Ravi, are making a significant impact while learning empathy and the value of service.
Testimonial
“My experience as a STEM volunteer at Valley Palms in San Jose has been incredibly rewarding. I work with a diverse group of kids, engaging them in hands-on activities from simple circuit boards to science experiments. The program not only fosters a love for STEM subjects but also helps develop
crucial skills such as math, hand-eye coordination, English, creativity, and more. It is a joy to see the children's enthusiasm and curiosity as they learn in a fun and interactive environment. I'm grateful to be a part of it.”
