The Oxford Arts Alliance recently announced that it has received a $7,500 grant from Constellation Energy to support the launch of its new STEAM Teens Program, an after-school initiative for students between the ages 13 and 17 that blends Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math through hands-on, creative learning.

The program will engage teens in projects that promote problem-solving, design thinking, and technical skills while encouraging creativity and collaboration. Funding from Constellation Energy will support personnel, materials, tools, and technology, while also helping provide full and partial scholarships to ensure accessibility for all students.

“We are incredibly grateful to Constellation for their support,” said Vanessa Ross, the president of the Oxford Arts Alliance. “This funding allows us to expand opportunities for teens, remove financial barriers, and provide meaningful creative learning experiences.”

The STEAM Teens Program is expected to launch this fall as part of the Oxford Arts Alliance’s expanding educational offerings for youth in Oxford and the surrounding communities.

Constellation strives to secure America’s energy future by expanding clean, reliable energy to
