Help us inspire a curiosity for STEM. Make a gift to the Science Center’s Curiosity Fund to help support STEM education programs in St. Louis.
On December 2, 2023, teens in the Science Center’s YES Program participated in a special visit from the Office of Financial Empowerment, part of the City of St. Louis Treasurer’s Office. Representatives from the Office of Financial Empowerment College Kids Program visited the Taylor Community Science Resource Center to talk about college funding and a number of related topics.
Assistant Treasurer Christina Bennett provided personal stories and shared current resources for the YES Teens to learn about financial resources for college, ACT testing, college comparisons, upcoming College Kids events, and more.
A core part of the YES Program is helping YES Teens develop the knowledge, aspirations, and vital 21st century skills to succeed as the next generation of STEM workers. During the session, the YES Teens had the chance to learn about tips on navigating the college application process, opportunities and strategies to secure financial aid and scholarships, and the power of budgeting and saving for the future.
Thank you to the College Kids Program and the Office of Financial Empowerment for visiting and sharing with our YES Teens!
