Fifty Years of Sparks. The Next One Starts with You.
Find the spark. Trust the kid. Watch what happens.
For 50 years, EXPLO has given 12-to-14-year-olds the chance to try real work and find their spark at the exact age when curiosity either takes hold or starts to fade. Donate today to help EXPLO welcome more students, expand financial aid, and create new ways to explore for the next 50 years.
Why Your Gift Matters Now
Tuition covers the summer itself, but it can't open a seat for a student whose family can't afford one, or build new experiences that don't exist yet. As EXPLO celebrates 50 years, your gift helps us grow in three ways.
More students:
Doubling the number of middle schoolers we serve by 2030.
More access:
Last year, more than 100 students asked for aid we couldn't provide.
More exploration:
Dozens of new workshops and electives coming in 2027.
"EXPLO is a place where they make learning magical."
