We provide supplemental, energy-related and age-appropriate STEM programs for students in Grades 3-12. Our programs promote curiosity, increase students’ confidence and help to enhance educational equity by improving STEM competency outside a traditional classroom setting.
Our Community Engagement and Advocacy efforts have both an external and internal focus. From street fairs, back-to-school events, or STEM Family Education Celebrations, our EJ team is ready to support our friends and neighbors.
We also work with our colleagues in operations and strategic planning to ensure that the concerns and challenges of our underserved communities are considered in managing current and future projects.
Our Adult Energy Literacy Program provides educational programing to our neighbors to enable them to make positive energy choices for their families and community.
