Help Tanner Ray Attend NYLF Pathways to STEM

Hello! My name is Elizabeth, I am creating this fundraiser for my cousin and Godson Tanner Ray who has been selected because of his hard work and passion for his education.

This is a snippet of the letter he received in the mail:

Tanner Ray, has been nominated by Educator Morgan Phillips of Kingston Elementary School to participate in the National Youth Leadership Forum (NYLF): Pathways to STEM, an Envision by WorldStrides program to be held at Emory University outside of Atlanta, GA next summer, 2025.

Only bright, highly motivated students are singled out by their teachers for nomination to NYLF Pathways to STEM.

Tanner was selected because Educator Phillips recognizes exceptional maturity, scholastic merit, and leadership potential even at this young age.

NYLF Pathways to STEM is designed to give future leaders like him an unparalleled opportunity while still in elementary school to discover their personal strengths and to begin to acquire the leadership and life skills needed for academic and career success.

I asked Tanner what it would mean to him to be able to participate in this opportunity and this is what he said:

Hello! My name is Tanner Ray and I was invited to go to Atlanta Georgia for a STEM program. This opportunity will give me more knowledge about a subject I am interested in. To be able to go will give me the confidence to achieve what I love learning about. I love stem because I get to learn about how to solve problems on my own. I am very grateful for this opportunity and that my teacher saw potential in me.

Funds will be used to pay for the cost of the week long program Tanner will be involved in on Emory College's Campus.
