Education Spotlight — Flagstaff STEM City — Did you know? We have a program that connects local teachers and STEAM professionals to facilitate classroom projects. See more local, state and national education news here
Think back to a time in your childhood when you were inspired by a teacher or a mentor. Maybe you had a family friend with an engineering career that fascinated you, or your 3rd grade teacher led a memorable science experiment that you tell stories about still to this day.
Imagine if you could cultivate that same sense of awe and inspiration in a local classroom. What would you teach? What would you share? These formative years are a crucial time to encourage inventiveness, innovation, and curiosity in the youth of today and the future of tomorrow.
That is the premise behind Full STEAM Ahead: to bring local professionals into Flagstaff’s classrooms to share the world of STEM with our future innovators and inventors.

United Way of Northern Arizona — Supporting Youth (and Families) on Giving Tuesday
On Giving Tuesday, we come together to support the causes that matter most to us.
This year, I’m asking you to join us and create more opportunities for our communities in Coconino, Navajo, and Apache County to step up for our youth by supporting not only our children, but those who take care of them as well.
An underlying aspect of many of the programs we manage or fund is about being a partner to the parents and guardians who are raising the next generation.
As our Annual Campaign Co-Chair, Flagstaff Police Chief Dan Musselman recently said, “What I’m hearing from my officers is that both parents and youth need additional support and resources.”
