Be the Difference. Show our Teachers and Students They're Not Alone.

“When you bring in the TAF community model, the community doesn’t see us (the school) as this walled-off institution, they see us as a partner. That’s why you see huge community growth, student learning growth, and positivity everywhere with the STEMbyTAF model.” ​
Mrs. Sweet
Teacher at First Creek Middle School

TAF as an Advocate for Students, Teachers, and Educational Change

Twenty-eight years ago, we dared to believe that young people of color could create and achieve amazing things if given the right tools and opportunities with STEMbyTAF. Nearly three decades later, STEMbyTAF graduates across the nation are living the futures they envisioned. 

Today, this progress is endangered by a state-wide education funding crisis. For now, and the foreseeable future, budgets at our partner schools are facing dramatic cuts, that negatively impact a foundational element of the STEMbyTAF Model – teacher training. STEMbyTAF facilitates systemic change by transforming hearts, minds, and practices of the entire school community – for the students and the teachers. 

Join TAF and other public education advocates and say ‘NO’ to allowing financial barriers to jeopardize our students’ futures.
