Lumity is a STEM nonprofit dedicated to shaping the future of STEM education for Chicagoland’s students. Its mission states that Lumity provides teens and young adults with transformational experiences to prepare them for lifelong STEM careers. Lumity has 40 years of making a difference and has served the community as a community technology service and a nonprofit finance organization. A two-year training program started in 2013, after which 323 students were employed. In the 2019–2020 STEMWorks program, 70% of students were placed in a STEM-related job, and 88% of students achieved positive outcomes including increased awareness of STEM careers and pathways for career success. In STEM Career Prep, 75% of students agree with the statement “I see myself having a career in STEM.” Lumity also connects Chicago students with businesses and bridges the gap between students and STEM opportunities through school, corporate, or community partnerships. One supporter from Ferrara stated, “We knew that we wanted to support the community where we work, and Lumity met all our criteria. We especially appreciate that we can donate our time with Lumity. It’s just so energizing for our employees.” Lumity also holds an Annual Benefit in March.
