The Ball Foundation

This partnership fosters a culture of STEM learning in local Clubs by equipping Club staff to become world-class youth development professionals capable of delivering high-quality STEM programming. Grant support provides critical resources to strengthen STEM initiatives at the Club level, positively impacting youth across the movement.

Through the generosity of the Ball Foundation, support has been confirmed for the Ultimate Journey Program (UJP) for the second consecutive year. This investment will serve nine (9) Clubs, delivering integrated activities and learning experiences in science, environmental studies, sustainability, and conservation. The program offers age-appropriate, hands-on learning and career exploration opportunities designed to spark curiosity, build skills, and inspire a passion for STEM among young people.

Now in its third year, the partnership continues to expand its reach, strengthen STEM programming, and deepen community impact—advancing measurable youth outcomes while furthering the Ball Foundation’s mission.

The Ball Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, private foundation. The Ball Foundation’s mission is to provide financial support to nonprofit organizations that sustain the communities in which we live and operate by improving and promoting recycling, education, and disaster preparedness and relief.
