Wraparound Service Providers

To support this aim, three (3) cohorts of service providers will be selected during the planning phase to build their readiness for possible participation at the STEM School. Each organization will receive a sub-grant during their cohort year allowing staff to attend professional learning sessions and develop their proposed innovation plan, outlining the expansion of programs and/or services into the STEM School.
