Calumet Cares offers NW Louisiana students STEM grants

CADDO PARISH, La (KTAL/KMSS) – One of Caddo Parish’s largest employers is investing in the next generation.

Calumet is launching its Calumet Cares grant program. It offers teachers in Caddo, Bossier, and Webster Parishes the opportunity to apply for a STEM project they would like to implement in their class with one of their middle or high school students.

Calumet’s plant manager and community relations specialist will review the application and select a student each month to receive up to a $1,000 grant to conduct the project in the classroom. The first one will be awarded next week.

The company said it is to get kids involved in STEM and interested in staying in the local workforce.

“We want to entice the children to want to be involved in STEM because that is the future. The long-term goal is they would get involved in it, then go to college and get a STEM degree, then they would want to work at Calumet once they get through,” said Lyndon B. Johnson, Calumet NWLA community and government relations specialist.

The Calumet Cares program will feature STEM presentations every third Friday on the Fox 33 morning show.
