OUR MISSION

The mission of STEAM ONWARD is to increase the number of minority and under-served youth pursuing higher education in STEM related fields such as science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. 


We achieve this goal by providing youth in Charles County, and Prince George's County, Maryland with after school hands-on experiential learning opportunities. 


Our youth group YOUNG RESEARCHERS COMMUNITY PROJECT (YRCP) utilizes the methodologies of participatory action research (PAR) to improve their lives as they become agents of change in their communities.

Why You Should Buy Divine Chocolate

Divine Chocolate was established in 1998 by a co-operative of cocoa farmers in Ghana that owns 44% of the company and shares in its profit. By buying Divine Chocolate you are empowering farmers in Africa who grow the ingredients, and are paid a fair trade price. Fair Trade is an approach to international trade centered around equitable partnerships. It empowers farmers by providing safe working conditions, fair pay, and a means to establish a sustainable business free from exploitation.
