We are thrilled to announce that our organization has received the Mentorship Matters Award of Excellence from the Junior League of Tulsa. This award is a testament to the incredible work our organization does through our Me & My Math Mentor (M^4) program.

The Mentorship Matters Award recognizes organizations that have demonstrated a commitment to providing high-quality mentorship opportunities that promote personal growth and leadership development. We are honored to receive this award, which acknowledges our dedication to nurturing and supporting the next generation of leaders.

We believe that mentorship is essential to a quality STEM education because it provides students with guidance, support, and real-world insights from experienced professionals. Through mentorship, students can gain a deeper understanding of how STEM fields work in practice, as well as valuable skills such as problem-solving, critical thinking, and collaboration. Mentors can also help students explore different career paths and provide advice on how to pursue their goals. We are grateful to the Junior League of Tulsa for this recognition and look forward to continuing our efforts to make a positive impact through mentorship.
