What We Do
We are a dedicated team of industry professionals, distinguished professors, and communicators with a passion for helping the next generation of STEM leaders.
Our Mission
Our nonprofit parent organization, the Chance to Change Lives (CCL-US), was formed to address some of the challenges facing students from underserved communities. We engage in a ‘pay-it-forward’ model to mentor and develop the next generation of leaders and knowledge creators in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) fields. CCL-US launched the STEMNetX initiative in 2021 to begin to bridge the gaps in access to resources, awareness, capacity, and social capital.
Our Vision
Our goal is to increase the participation of undergraduate students from historically underserved groups in high-impact research experiences at local colleges and universities. Our vision is to empower those students to become future leaders in STEM fields.
Our Impact
The investments made by CCL-US and STEMNetX provided funding support for summer research projects that benefited 17 students in four states.
“During the last 18 months, Chance to Change Lives has invested $100,000 toward numerous research experiences.”
