YMCA Receives STEM Grant
The YMCA of the Inland Northwest was awarded a $3,000 grant from School's Out Washington to implement a pilot program at two elementary schools (Evergreen in Mead and Trent in East Valley). The pilot program is a result of meetings with collaborative partners Mead School District, Mobius Kids Science Center, the Northeast Washington Education Service District 101, Eastern Washington University, and Tincan to improve student engagement with science, technology, engineering and math. Hands on activities will include engineering, designing and building bridges, towers and roller coasters. Students will learn the Engineering Design Process of ask, imagine, plan, create and improve. Once we successfully implement the program at these two sites, we will use it at all our other sites as well, exposing children to experiential applications.

Best Buy Grant
We are honored to receive a $4,000 grant from the Best Buy Foundation in support of our Youth Investment Program. This grant award allows us to partner with the Spokane Symphony Orchestra to create the "Orchestrating Greatness" experience for at-risk youth. They will have the opportunity to explore how each individual's personal best contributes to the overall success and harmony of the team effort.
