Boys and Girls Clubs of Union County

The Boys & Girls Clubs of Union County was our first community partner. They are a nonprofit organization that provides safe spaces, mentors, and programs after school and during the summer to help local youth reach their full potential. We’ve brought STEMagic Kits to their afterschool programs and summer camps since 2024, working with students and campers from as young as 5 to as old as 13. Each student has learned about STEM while having fun, whether it’s building marshmallow towers, creating leaf morphology art, or launching catapults.
