Who We Are
EnCorps connects well-trained STEM professionals with public school students, ensuring children in under-resourced communities gain access to a strong STEM education. Through our Professional Development training programs we path educators to success and act as a primary resource for our future leaders! The EnCorps STEM Teachers Program® recruits, selects, and supports experienced STEM professionals and those with advanced STEM degrees to become impactful, long-term teachers, addressing the critical STEM teacher shortage. The EnCorps STEMx Tutors Program pairs middle school students needing math support with volunteer STEM professionals, subject-matter experts, and STEM college students to build their math skills and confidence before high school. The EnCorps CTE Teacher Training Program helps school districts train new CTE instructors with the classroom pedagogy needed to succeed in the classroom. EnCorps takes a 360-approach to education, making teacher recruitment and retention a priority.
Founded by Sherry Lansing in 2007, EnCorps Inc. is a Los Angeles-based nonprofit.
Fun fact: EnCorps is pronounced like the word encore. It sounds like ann-kor!
