Introducing our 2022 Youth STEM Ambassadors

Historically, VPOST has hosted a Youth Ambassadors program where youth are coached on how to speak to legislators and other policymakers about the positive impact afterschool programs have had in their life. Building on this success, VPOST has launched our first STEM-focused Youth Ambassadors cohort. Our six ambassadors will be sharing their STEM stories with federal legislators at the Afterschool for All Challenge this month, to voice the unique experience of expanded STEM learning in the afterschool and out-of-school time settings. From Lego Robotics, Science Olympiad, and more, expanded STEM learning prepares young people for the future in Virginia. To learn more about STEM in Virginia's Afterschool Programs here.
