The MAXIMUS Foundation recently renewed a $2,000 grant to support the Expanded Learning Programs for Children and Youth (ELP) at Erie Neighborhood House.<\/p>\n

\u201cMaking a deep and meaningful impact on a community is no easy feat, but Erie House continues to do it every day,\u201d said John Boyer, MAXIMUS Foundation Chairman. \u201cIt is an honor to present Erie House with this MAXIMUS Foundation grant that will support the continuation of their valuable work in improving health, augmenting child and family development, and promoting community development.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Foundation is the charitable arm of MAXIMUS, a publicly traded company that partners with state, federal and local governments to provide critical health and human service programs. It has supported Erie House since the spring of 2015, and this year\u2019s grant will allow ELP to keep developing STEM initiatives to help students grow in the areas of science, technology, engineering and math.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Foundation and I look forward to seeing this program\u2019s growth and know that it will continue to improve individuals\u2019 and families\u2019 lives in the future,\u201d said Boyer.<\/p>\n

STEM has taken on increased importance at Erie House, given the growing workforce demand for skilled employees with a strong background in these subject areas.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are giving our youth the best opportunity to be prepared for their future,\u201d said Joshua Fulcher, director of the Expanded Learning Programs for Children and Youth.<\/p>\n

Fulcher explained that ELP utilizes a variety hands-on activities to support knowledge gain while at the same time nurture a deeper passion for STEM subject material. \u201cIf our students come out of high school with a good STEM knowledge base and a passion for learning more, they can and will be successful in the long run,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

A variety of clubs and workshops engage students in STEM activities while at Erie House, and that investment is paying off: For the third year in a row, nearly half of the program\u2019s graduating seniors chose a STEM major in college.<\/p>\n
