关于我们
We partner with cities to build innovative public school systems because we believe that quality education can help move children out of poverty and into thriving adult lives. This is possible when all families have fair access to quality schools, when educators have the flexibility to meet the diverse needs of their students, when education leaders reflect the communities they serve, and when those most impacted by the system have the power to change it.

?? Science, music, and citywide collaboration? That’s Camden’s first-ever STEM Showcase. Over 200 students—from preschoolers to high school seniors—came together to show off their science, tech, and engineering skills at the city’s first unified STEM event. From robots in the pool to lemon-powered electricity, students from district, charter, and renaissance schools proved that STEM learning is alive and thriving across Camden. The showcase, led by Camden Education Fund (CEF) and supported by the American Water Charitable Foundation, wasn’t just a celebration of student innovation—it was a celebration of unity, creativity, and possibility. As CEF CEO Giana Campbell said: ??? “Today, we are one Camden.”
