Educate, Elevate, Empower:
Students Helping Students Thrive
Education is the great equalizer, open doors to jobs, resources, and skills for survival and success. But quality education remains a distant dream for far too many children. This educational divide touches the lives of inner-city children and young women on a global scale.
We believe mathematics is the cornerstone for a great education especially for girls and children from low-income families. Among students, girls and low-income students are particularly disadvantaged in mathematics and STEM performance due to both unavailable resources and misconceptions about gender and mathematical ability.
Wisconsin Students for Students strives to help girls and low-income students achieve success in mathematics and STEM through math enrichment programs. We provide free math enrichment education to middle school students in achieve success in math competition and in the pursuit of a STEM education.
