Ball and The Ball Foundation

The Ball Foundation

The Ball Foundation’s national partnership is dedicated to supporting Boys & Girls Clubs of America through Manufacturing & STEM education initiatives by equipping young people with the skills, support, information, and access to opportunities needed for success in life, school and 21st century workforce.

The Ultimate Journey Program

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.
