UBC CENTRE FOR COMMUNITY ENGAGED LEARNING (CCEL)
STEMPacts has obtained funding for our programs from the Chapman and Innovation Grant set up by the CCEL department at the University of British Columbia. This grant offers UBC students the opportunity to create and carry out a meaningful project in partnership with a local not-for-profit community organization.
MOSAIC BC
MOSAIC is one of the largest settlement non-profit organizations in Canada serving immigrant, refugee, migrant and mainstream communities. Their mission is to further the success and sense of belonging of newcomers and individuals from diverse backgrounds through advocacy and services, which include services pertaining to employment, language, counseling, and settlement. One of their many services includes working with children and youth through educational and social programs. STEMPacts is supporting these very children and youth by motivating and inspiring them to nurture their interests in STEM.
