Mission Statement
Northeast Stem Starter Academy at Mt. Vernon, formerly known as Mount Vernon Technology & Science Youth Center for Advancement, is an independent, IRS approved 501(c)(3) created in direct response to the many challenges that cannot be adequately addressed by the public school system due to resource and budget constraints. The center will work in partnership with public school leadership to ensure at-risk students have access to state-of-the-art science and technology resources that prepare them for careers as teachers, scientists, computer technologists, doctors and engineers.
