Since 2008, the Nehemiah Community Empowerment Center has provided STEM/Robotic Career Exploration Summer Camps and After-school programs for youth and teens. We offer hands-on exposure in coding, 3-D printing, robotic engineering, drones, animation and so much more. We also provide Google IT Certification and apprenticeship training for teens and adults in order to develop a more qualified and certified workforce.

For the past 16 years, the Nehemiah Center have been creating opportunities for minorities to attain hands-on experience in STEM, robotics and I.T. Our Founder & CEO - Randi Francis, was at a FIRST robotics competition 10 years ago. Our team was the only minority team at the competition. She said to herself, "Something's wrong with this picture". And the Nehemiah STEM Academy was birthed and she stated "we must start at a younger age". We are creating career awareness and diversity in STEM, thereby developing a pipeline of minorities qualified and certified in these lucrative fields. EARLY EXPOSURE & CONSISTENT ACCESS IS KEY!

Right now, we are at the capacity building stage. Over the past three years, we have grown exponentially to the point of not having enough space at our current facility and putting families on waitlists. We are expanding and setting up STEM camps at area schools and other locations in NC. Your help is very much needed to help with our expansion and acquire a larger facility. With your assistance, we can continue to grow and provide our services efficiently and effectively in Guilford County & Beyond!

You can make a one-time contribution or kindly consider setting up monthly donations. We are very grateful for all of our past and current donors and community partners.
