Since 1996 TAF has brought in a new era of education for students and teachers of color in Washington State. We’ve gone from 40 kids at our first after school program to transforming education with our STEMbyTAF model directly in schools, impacting over 24,000 students annually. Along the way we broadened our reach to support educators of color and encourage leaders in education of all backgrounds to do their part.
We’ve come so far in 25 years, thanks to the support of our community and our collective commitment to equitable education. We have alumni from our first programs stopping by current TAF classrooms to talk about their careers and inspire the next generation. This is what is possible when we invest in tomorrow’s leaders, generational change.
And we’re not done yet! Together, we can make equitable public education systems a reality so that everyone has the opportunity to build their vision for the future.
