United Way
With a strong belief about the importance of community service initiatives and investing in the future of biopharma's talent pipeline, Wolfe Laboratories pledges continuous support for the United Way of Massachusetts Bay and Merrimack Valley’s Math, Science and Technology initiative (MSTi) by hosting highly interactive site visits for underprivileged youth. During each site visit, Wolfe's scientists with teaching backgrounds interact with middle school girls to explore different career options in the sciences, help motive the youth, and teach them valuable leadership skills in the process.
United Way's MSTi currently serves nearly 600 students in 33 science clubs throughout the region and aims to help underserved youth foster a lifelong curiosity in the sciences and to prepare young people for rewarding careers in math, science, and technology-related fields.
