Project Title: Expanding Opportunity: One-on-One STEAM Mentoring for Charlottesville-Albemarle Youth
\nProject Description:<\/p>\n
C4K exists to give children and young adults the tools they need to succeed \u2014 and to help them achieve their full potential. For 25 years, C4K has been the only organization in the Charlottesville-Albemarle area of Virginia combining one-on-one STEAM mentoring with hands-on technology access for youth from low-income households, at no cost to youth or their families.C4K’s flagship 1:1 Mentoring program pairs each youth (grades 6\u201312) with a trained volunteer mentor for a 16-week, project-based experience in coding, robotics, design, digital storytelling, music production, and more. Youth don’t just learn about technology; they build with it. Alongside trusted mentors, they develop confidence, problem-solving skills, and the capabilities that open doors to education and economic opportunity.C4K also offers Collabs (small-group project-based STEAM learning experience with group mentors), themed Camps during school breaks, and Open Clubhouse \u2014 drop-in, youth-driven exploration time. Together, these programs transform the lives of 140+ youth annually \u2014 all from households at or below 80% of HUD Area Median Family Income. A Hermanowski Foundation grant of $10,000 would fund direct program delivery in FY2027: mentor training, project materials, and access to current and emerging technology. In FY2025, C4K’s volunteer mentors contributed 2,160 hours valued at over $65,000, amplifying the impact of every philanthropic dollar invested.<\/p>\n
