Building Communities for Better Futures

At Blinderman, serving our community is not only integral to running our business successfully, it is part of our individual responsibility as citizens of Chicago, and the world. Our main social responsibility initiatives are inspired by and reflect our industry, what we do, and the people we work together with day-in and day-out:

inSTEM (inspiring STEM in Middle-School Girls) is an all encompassing program that combines STEM, mentorship, leadership, and empowerment by nurturing and creating the next generation of women in STEM.

YouthBuild serves as a catalyst of change that promotes the talents and energy of low-income and underserved young people (ages 16-24) to transform their lives by reclaiming their education, engaging in adult responsibility, and giving back to their communities.

Event Benificiary, inSTEM

inSTEM, offered through DePaul University's College of Education, began as a tuition-free, one week, half-day camp in the summer of 2014. The program’s goal is to inspire and support middle-school girls from underserved communities in pursuing their innate interest in STEM learning. The camp provides an encouraging environment that helps prepare these girls for the challenges of their future math and science curriculum, and nurtures their love of STEM. Now a three-week, full-day summer camp, the program also includes Mentorship Programs for high school and college women, Fall Enrichment Saturdays, local Robotics Competitions and National Flagway Mathematics Tournaments.
