We're sending gratitude and love to our educators who are always there to support our students. We’re especially grateful for them and the Friendsgiving celebration they organized, inviting our community for a warm meal. We hope you all take a moment to send your gratitude to the amazing educators in your life this holiday season! ????

Success isn’t just about academics. For many of our students, overcoming the challenges they face requires emotional resilience, a sense of belonging, and someone who believes in them. That’s why our team of social workers, youth workers, and advocate counselors is an essential part of what we do–they provide vital social-emotional support our students need to thrive in school and beyond. ????? ?

Our educators are here to help! In our Power Academy afterschool program, we offer students a space to concentrate on homework and ask for help if they hit a roadblock. Homework often contributes to the academic success of students, so providing support on their school work will set our scholars on track. ?????

This #SeasonOfGratitude, we’re taking a moment to celebrate the remarkable achievements of our scholars and student leaders. Every day, we watch our young people bring their curiosity, kindness, and leadership to the classroom, inspiring everyone around them. Whether through academic success or acts of service, these exceptional students are building brighter futures for themselves and their communities. ????

Say hello to our interns! In our Level Up program, we offer paid internships to our high school students so they can see what opportunities are available to them post-graduation. These internships not only offer valuable hands-on experience, mentorship, and exposure to various career pathways, but also help students build essential skills and confidence for their personal and professional growth. ??

This #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth, the Mission Society is proud to honor and celebrate Indigenous communities across the country. With over 500 tribal nations, each with its own rich heritage, language, and traditions, Native Americans have been shaping the land and its history for thousands of years. Today, this deep connection to heritage remains a powerful source of strength and inspiration for leaders and changemakers in STEAM.
