Boys & Girls Clubs of America and Apple are committed to supporting an equitable future, creating access and opportunity for digital access, coding and more for today’s kids and teens.
Community Education Initiative
Apple and Boys & Girls Clubs of America are partnering to advance learning opportunities and outcomes in STEM for Club youth, with a focus on coding, creativity and community-connected learning.
Together, Boys & Girls Clubs of America and Apple’s Community Education Initiative (CEI) are equipping local Clubs with the tools and resources necessary to implement high-quality, sustainable and scalable programming. This capacity-building includes fostering a culture of STEM learning in local Clubs by developing Club staff members into world-class youth development professionals who can implement high-quality Code & Create programming in their Clubs, while building youth capacity to engage with experiences and opportunities that span the continuum of STEM. Partnering with Boys & Girls Clubs of America to build this capacity across the nation provides millions of kids and teens the opportunity to ignite their interest in STEM and develop the skills needed to succeed in STEM long-term. By setting these youth up for success, we ensure that our nation will also prosper.
“At Apple, we believe education is a force for equity, and that all learners should have the opportunity to explore and develop coding skills for their future,” said Lisa Jackson, Apple’s vice president of Environment, Policy and Social Initiatives.
