Hear from our partners! "The Med-ucate team has been volunteering and teaching in FCSN After-School Program since 2019. We appreciate their passion in reaching out to the special needs community and as well as their dedication in teaching especially during this time of pandemic. Every week, the Med-ucate team teaches Anatomy Class through zoom online which brings lots of positivity to our students. The class is always creative and fun and talks about the importance of keeping the body healthy. Each member of the Med-ucate team is compassionate, patient and kind as they make sure to interact with every student and to encourage them to participate actively. The Med-ucate Team has also donated materials for our students which helps them enjoy learning and creating crafts. The students genuinely enjoyed learning from the Med-ucate team, and we wanted Med-ucate to continue teaching at the Afterschool Program." - Friends of Children with Special Needs (FCSN) "Med-ucate is educational and informative. What makes it more interesting is that the team breaks down difficult concepts like the immune, cardiovascular, and nervous systems in a simple way that our Jeena kids can understand. The Med-ucate team is patient and makes learning fun. They’re enthusiastic, well organized. We love the slides they use. They take charge and keep the kids engaged every minute. They’re dedicated and Jeena is happy to have them conduct classes." - Jeena

Hear from our partners! "This year, our students had an amazing time with Med-ucate, one of the most popular after-school programs we’ve hosted! Med-ucate brought science to life by providing students with hands-on experiences that allowed them to learn about the human body, its systems, and even acquire a few basic medical skills. What made this program truly special was its connection to what our students were already learning in class. It helped reinforce school topics in a fun and exciting way...Med-ucate’s engaging, hands-on approach was perfect for our students, especially those who thrive through project-based and interactive learning. We’re so thankful to the Med-ucate team for bringing this incredible experience to STA and hope to see them back again soon!" - Scheree Issa, Director of Student Success at St. Thomas the Apostle School (STA) "We are truly grateful for our partnership with the Med-ucate team! They went above and beyond in helping to plan and teach engaging lessons on the human body systems for our PBL project, Medical Interns. Their ability to break down complex topics in a way that was accessible and fun for our students made a huge impact. We’re incredibly proud of the presentations our students shared during the PBL Showcase with the rest of the school and their families, and we look forward to continuing this wonderful collaboration at St. Thomas the Apostle School." - Liana Vantrease, Teacher at St. Thomas the Apostle School (STA) "We’ve partnered with Med-ucate for four years and it truly is a shining example of the dedication to inclusive and adaptive education. Med-ucate volunteers bring enthusiasm, empathy, and a strong foundation in STEM education to our classrooms. By designing hands-on science activities tailored to meet the needs of neurodiverse students, they not only reinforce academic skills but also foster curiosity and confidence in our learners...Volunteers work hard to connect with City Elementary students and understand how to capitalize on their strengths, including opportunities to explore new topics! Educators at City have noted the positive impact of Meducate’s sessions—students look forward to their visits, and teachers report improved engagement...[Med-ucate's] efforts not only enhance STEM accessibility for neurodiverse students at City Elementary but also reflect a broader commitment to social impact through education." - City Elementary

Hear from our partners! "I would like to express our enthusiastic support for Med-ucate’s Body Systems Workshop for elementary-aged children. We are grateful for the opportunity to host this engaging, educational program, which aligns perfectly with our mission to provide enriching STEM experiences to the community—free of charge. Over the past year, we’ve partnered with Med-ucate at several branches...We are also excited to receive donations from Med-ucate’s school supply drive, which will benefit students in our Kids Achieve Club—an after-school tutoring program at our libraries. This support will help students who need academic assistance and school supplies. Med-ucate provides high-quality, hands-on science education that families look forward to. We are proud to support their work and look forward to continuing this valuable partnership." - Prince George’s County Memorial Library System
