Empowering Families Through STEM Education and I.T. Workforce Access
Our Vision
We are committed to empowering families by providing innovative STEM education opportunities. Through our programs, families gain access to state-of-the-art learning experiences in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
Advancing Workforce Readiness
In addition to education, we ensure families have pathways into the information technology workforce. By connecting STEM learning with real-world I.T. career opportunities, we help open doors to meaningful employment and economic advancement.
Camden is the 8th largest city in New Jersey. Unfortunately, 33.6% of Camden residents live in poverty. Approximately 32% of residents have no high school diplomas, and 13% of children under the age of 18 in Camden County are food insecure. 91% of Camden is African American and Hispanic (2015). Our communities are filled with vibrant, veracious minds that are chronically underserved.
Founded in 2010, The Camden Dream Center passionately serves the communities of South Jersey by providing STEM education to students of all ages and preparing them to enter the fast-paced IT and IoT workforce.
