Subject: $1K Stipend Opportunity in your MGM Monday News!

VPOST is excited to officially open our recruitment for our 2023-2024 cohort of STEM Youth Ambassadors! Virginia youth ages 13-18 are encouraged to apply to represent teens across the Commonwealth who love participating in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) activities during afterschool and want to share their stories.

VPOST will guide STEM Ambassadors on how to create and tell their unique stories through a series of monthly sessions, virtually, (times to be determined) between June and November 2023 and January-February 2024. Ambassadors will learn about different ways to share their stories to promote more support for Afterschool STEM programs. The program will follow a cycle of the Virginia General Assembly season from election campaigns in the summer, through the November elections and into the start of the Virginia General Assembly session. The STEM Youth Ambassador program leads up to an advocacy day at the Virginia General Assembly in Richmond, VA in early 2024. Here Ambassadors will meet representatives and their staff to share their STEM stories. This is a great opportunity for youth to bring their love of STEM to change-making!

Youth that successfully completes the program will be rewarded for their time in the prep sessions with a $100 pre-paid VISA gift card.

Applications are due May 30, 2023! Questions can be directed to Christine Jones Monaccio at christine.jones-monaccio@v-post.org.

Funding available for STEM in Hampton Roads

Coastal VA STEM hub, a regional STEM learning ecosystem, is offering grant funding opportunities for educators and nonprofits in Coastal Virginia (i.e., Hampton Roads and Eastern Shore). Funds are available to develop new STEM-focused initiatives, activities, and programming. Projects proposed for grant funding should cultivate or enhance STEM awareness, literacy, and skill development.

Those seeking funding can utilize this opportunity for non-funded and non-existent programming such as new after-school programming expenses, professional development, STEM events, classroom or organizational technology for end-users, field trips, etc.

Applications will be accepted until all funding has been awarded, and priority attention will be given to those submitted by May 12, 2023. Full details here.
