The Parris Foundation: S.T.E.M.ulating Minds
Mission
At The Parris Foundation, our mission is to level the playing field by delivering transformative STEM education and holistic support to under-resourced youth. As a team, we empower students to break cycles of poverty, access opportunity, and discover their full potential—academically, personally, and professionally.
We envision a future where equity in education is no longer an aspiration but a reality—where the students we serve become the scientists, engineers, leaders, and mentors of tomorrow. We are building a legacy of impact by investing in the next generation of change makers.

About Us
The Parris Foundation: S.T.E.M.ulating Minds is more than a nonprofit—it's a movement. We are a passionate team of educators, mentors, innovators, and advocates committed to reshaping what's possible for young people in historically underrepresented communities.

Through weekend enrichment, summer STEM camp, academic coaching, and tutoring, we provide hands-on STEM education that is personal, culturally responsive, and measurable in its outcomes.
Working at TPF means that you are creating an impact with purpose. Every lesson taught and every mentoring or advocacy hour contributes to real change in a student’s life. We value collaboration over hierarchy: At TPF we care about your voice, creativity, curiosity, and compassionate leadership. TPF is a place where rising professionals can stretch their skills, take initiative, and develop in a mission-driven environment. Whether engaging with students, parents, volunteers, the community or fellow staff, we lead with love, empathy, and excellence.
