Team UPLift DMV Fundraiser for SciTech2U

Hi, we are team UPLift DC; a group of seniors at the University of the District of Columbia! 

Though, some of us are pursuing degrees in Accounting, while others are working toward a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology, one thing we all have in common is a vested interested in endeavors that bring tutoring and mentoring opportunities to youth in the DMV area. Over the past year, we have been enrolled in a course called, Frontier Capstone; a class that centers around students working in teams to come up with a project that focuses on something we feel passionately about. We are happy to be partnering with the nonprofit organization SciTech2U who brings interactive learning opportunities to students in grades K through 12 in the DMV area. Our project is simple; we want to use this online fundraising campaign to raise awareness and funds for the important work that SciTech2U is doing in the community.

Since 2011, the nonprofit organization has provided interactive learning opportunities to students; proudly investing time in ensuring their programs are accessible to all students regardless of their gender, ethnic/racial identities, or socio-economic status.
