Our Impact

Our work begins in elementary school with enrichment that exposes students to cutting edge STEM. In some cases, we add a layer of academic intervention. Through collaboration and capacity building, we ensure that out of school time is engaging and enriching. This work continues through middle and high school, where we add elements of mentorship and opportunities for youth leadership.

SPIN Summer Enrichment at John Muir Elementary School

In summers, SPIN partners with Seattle Public Schools to provide enrichment after the Summer Staircase program. A quick look at the demographics of the students we serve at John Muir are reflective of the students we serve across the region.

Student Race/Ethnicity

At John Muir, we served a diverse set of students (55% Black, 24% Asian, 13% Latinx, & 8% White) - deomnstrating our commitment to empowering students of color.

Student Home Language

In addition to racial diversity, our students also spoke numerous languages at home (11% Spanish, 20% Somali, 9% Chinese dialect, 6% Tagalog, 6% Vietnamese, & 4% Soninke) - reflecting the true population of Southeast Seattle.
