A Place for Kids in Keansburg
"In poor communities, too many children come home from school to empty refrigerators and stressful situations. The recent opioid crisis has also hit adults in these communities hard, leaving little ones at a loss for a proper role model or a safe place to go when school is out. As a result, these high risk children tend to tune out in school and accept the fact that hope for a bright future belongs to someone else – not them. "
Who We Are:
We are STEAMpark, INC., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation, whose mission is to provide educational, emotional and wellness support to children in economically disadvantaged communities. With a plan to open STEAMparks every four years in high-risk areas, we’ve begun work on our HQ and pilot site in Keansburg, NJ, rehabbing/renovating a facility one block away from the town’s primary school.
Our ‘educational playground’ STEAMparks will feature MakerSpaces, with computer bars and science tables; Learning Labs, with Story Stages and innovative, comfy furniture for work and play; Art Studios, with easels, Art Books and room to get messy; and Kitchenettes where simple, healthy food is prepared as kids watch and learn.
