STEM Next Opportunity Fund is a mid-sized nonprofit focused on expanding access to STEM discovery for young people through afterschool and summer programs. It coordinates a nationwide network of local and state partners to offer hands-on, out-of-school experiences intended to spark curiosity and build confidence in science, technology, engineering, and math. Based in San Diego, California, the organization operates within the civic and social sector to broaden participation in STEM outside the classroom. It collaborates with schools, community organizations, and program providers to extend learning beyond traditional curricula. The effort emphasizes a nationwide reach through partnerships and program development in the STEM education space. Recent developments include the launch of the Brains and Motion Education program in 2026, illustrating ongoing expansion of afterschool STEM offerings.
