The funny thing was, as a child, I had struggled in school, just like many kids in those underserved neighborhoods. My achievement in science came only after I got to college. I first developed a love for biology and fossils in my time away from school, on field trips and on my grandfather’s farm. So, I thought, why not fill empty seats on my university field trip with neighborhood students? Curiosity, energy, and an open mind would be the only requirements. That is where Project Exploration began for me—a desire to create a potentially life-altering opportunity for students who, like me, didn’t at first consider a career in science as a viable option. Your donation to Project Exploration provides intensive, relationship-based science programs for minority youth and girls—precisely the groups that have been historically left out of science.
We have dozens of students who are embarking on a future that would not have been possible without Project Exploration. Susan exemplifies that spirit: She was in ninth grade and had always gone through school unnoticed. She wasn’t great at school, and she didn’t know what her goals were for her future. But then she heard about Project Exploration’s Junior Paleontologist program and applied. Our staff saw immediately that Susan was a “PE kind of kid:” she was curious, she was eager, and she had never had an opportunity like this before. Over the next few years, Susan grew to love science and developed a real passion for writing. And when she wanted to go to college, she knew it was uncharted territory: nobody in her family had gone to college, and her friends were down on being smart. But Project Exploration had taught her that she was capable of so much more. Today, Susan is studying to be a medical assistant. The United States is falling behind in science at a critical juncture when science could not be more important. Project Exploration is changing the face of science. But we cannot do it alone. Please send in a gift today that will change the future for our kids. Sincerely,
