EnCorps is a nonprofit in the education sector based in Redondo Beach, California, with a focus on workforce readiness and teacher preparation to improve STEM learning in public schools. It connects public school students with STEM professionals who bring expertise to science, technology, engineering and math. To address gaps in middle and high school instruction, the organization runs three programs: a pathway for STEM professionals who want to transition into teaching to help counter the national shortage of math and science teachers; online tutoring for middle school math delivered by EnCorps experts; and a mentorship alliance that assists school districts in onboarding and supporting new CTE teachers in high school classrooms. Recent developments include partnerships with the Los Angeles Unified School District to strengthen the district's STEM teacher pipeline and participation in Beyond 100K's Dream to Teach initiative, as well as joining the STEMM Opportunity Alliance to promote equity and inclusion in STEM industries.
