Why Great Explorations?  

​Great Explorations is an incubator of educational dreams. We are committed to empowering youth to explore their pursuit of careers and education beyond high school and increase the chances they will complete college.  We do this through exploratory experiences offered to students in fourth through eighth grades and adding interactive workshops for high school students. We work together with their families and schools to ensure their success in all academic areas, career exploration and college preparation.
 
Our focus is giving today’s youth experiences that inspire them so they imagine a future where they are significant contributors to our global community. Doing so has a drastic and positive impact on our economy and communities at large.

"The MITRE employees were doing things that were a mixture of science, math, and technology—so engineering seemed like a good way to incorporate everything that I liked."
Proud of her!

Great Explorations does not promote or restrict participation to those who ascribe to a certain set of religious, social, or cultural beliefs. However, the essence of what we do is rooted in the Christian principles of love and developed character and in the acknowledgement of spirituality as an essential factor of being human.
