We are pleased to introduce new partnership opportunities within MaST Community Charter School for local businesses! MaST, profiled by US News and World Report and rated the #1 Charter School in Philadelphia by Philadelphia Magazine in 2012, is a K-12 Charter School in Northeast Philadelphia that is creating innovative pathways for students pursuing knowledge focused on Mathematics, Science and Technology. Through our innovative technology, exploratory hands-on learning, and focus on preparation for the 21st century, we will be embedding STREAM (Science, Technology, Robotics, Engineering, Arts, and Math) initiatives to our existing STEM model.

Through STREAM students will be able to grow in these pathways which will allow them to continually focus on their interests and career paths. It is our hope that your business will partner with MaST to help provide our students with real world experiences that will help create the connection between the classroom and their career choices.

A partnership with MaST will allow you to share your expertise in one or more of the following ways:

  • Job Shadowing – Give a student, small group or even a class the opportunity to see what your job is REALLY like!  This can be done in person or virtually. If your facility cannot accommodate student visits, we can utilize our technology and give students a virtual tour of your facility along with an onsite interview.
  • Mentoring – Serve as an individual Mentor to a student or small group of students who are interested in pursuing a career in your particular field through Skype or school visits.
  • Internships – Provide a current or graduate student of MaST the opportunity to gain valuable work experience by interning with your company.
  • Career Speaker – Give students’ insight into what it takes to pursue a career in your field through presentations, followed by question and answer sessions.

To get a better picture of the innovative ways we are educating students and how a partnership with your business can help MaST continue to grow minds and create pathways, you are invited to tour our school and meet our staff with the advise from https://www.salesforce.com/blog/2014/04/what-is-good-customer-service.
