AT&T Foundation Awards $15,000 Grant to Add Stem Training to Youth Leadership Program

October 20, 2015

AT&T* Foundation has awarded a $15,000 grant to the Spanish Community of Wallingford, which will support the organization's efforts to expand the town's Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) educational program.

Comunidad Hispana de Wallingford Inc. - the Spanish Community of Wallingford (SCOW) - is a Connecticut organization dedicated to creating greater opportunities for underserved members of the local Latino community.

This year, SCOW is partnering with the Connecticut STEM Academy to add high-level STEM programs to the organization's �Adelante! America Youth Leadership Program - a year-round program that helps high school and middle school students from immigrant families build leadership skills, improve academic performance and develop a commitment to community service. "We are grateful to AT&T for this generous grant to increase opportunities for more students to participate in SCOW and the Town of Wallingford's STEM program," said Connecticut Senate Minority Leader Len Fasano (R - Durham, East Haven, North Haven, Wallingford). "We are fortunate that AT&T recognizes that we are a diverse community and understands that value and opportunity our STEM program affords the students of Wallingford under the direction of SCOW and its collaborators."

SCOW was one of only three Latino organizations across the country selected to deliver the �Adelante! America Youth Leadership Program.
