Family Support & Future Planning
From Curiosity to Clarity. From Dreams to Direction.
STEM 1,000 helps students and families build the confidence, strategy, and support they need to navigate the future with purpose.
Because the future shouldn’t be left to chance. It should be planned intentionally and with love.
Why It Matters
The national average counselor-to-student ratio is 385:1, leaving many youth, especially in underserved communities, without access to personalized guidance about careers, college, and STEM opportunities.
Early exposure is only the beginning. Students also need structure, mentorship, and visibility to turn interest into impact.
