About - Stem Gift Drive

MISSION: Increase equitable access to STEM-themed toys, games, and books for at-risk youth in our community.

The STEM Gift Drive began in 2015 as part of a community impact project hosted by BE Orlando Humanist Fellowship. BE hosted about 72 community service projects a year. The non-profit organization (BE) closed in 2019; however, the volunteers involved in the STEM Gift Drive wanted to keep it going. So here we are!

We’re looking for additional members to join the coordinating committee, event volunteers, sponsors, gift drive hosts, and donors – contact us if you want to get involved!

About Boys & Girls Clubs

There are 4,300 BGC Clubs serving nearly 4 million young people across the nation. In Central Florida, there are 36 clubs serving over 11,000 young people. One of their core programs is Education & Career Development, and they are committed to closing the opportunity gap in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) with innovative and creative programs, activity ideas, and resources for Clubs and the youth they serve.

Because of their dedicated work with these future scientists, the Boys and Girls Club staff is uniquely positioned to ensure that gifts are distributed in a meaningful way – a youth interested in astronomy will receive that telescope you donate – a future robotics engineer will receive that robotics kit, a future biologist will receive that microscope. Larger gifts and games may be used by the STEM Programming staff for activities or may be given to individual youth as gifts and incentives throughout the year.
