Company Profile
G.E.M. Environmental NFP
Company Overview
G.E.M. Environmental NFP, GEM Environmental, or "GEM" as we say, is a 501(c) 3 scientific charity headquartered in Prescott, Arizona that works with government agencies to conserve public lands while connecting under-represented STEM students to integrated and collaborative educational programming through workforce development, service learning, scholarship, and experiential learning through our GEM for STEM programming.
VISION: Create a community of learners enriched and engaged through STEM education.
MISSION: Provide unique educational opportunities for under-represented STEM students through paid internships, service learning, scholarships, and experiential learning. Through our hands-on programs, students envision new educational goals, cultivate relationships with industry professionals, and develop greater confidence in community engagement.
ACCESSIBILITY: We believe that science is for everyone, thus experience within the STEM fields should be made broadly accessible to people from all walks of life, regardless of age, race, creed, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, or socioeconomic status.
COLLABORATION: G.E.M. Environmental welcomes partnerships with community institutions and schools that transcend academic disciplines and the boundary between academics and industry when providing career experience to the students we seek to benefit.
CONSERVATION: G.E.M. Environmental works with government agencies to provide data collection services and site monitoring for scientific study areas to ensure environmental, cultural, and wildlife preservation across our national public lands.
