We’re committed to ensuring every student in Camden has access to a high-quality, rigorous education. Every child—regardless of race, background, income, immigration status, or learning differences—deserves the opportunity to thrive in school. We represent students from all types of schools, including district, renaissance, and charter schools. To support our vision, we provide grant opportunities to programs that help make educational equity a reality across the city.
CEF supports programs and coaching that help educators enhance their teaching through targeted professional development. Last year, we facilitated math instructional coaching for over 30 teachers and leaders from local schools. We are exploring ways to expand this program to more schools in the upcoming year.
Launched in 2025, the Camden Citywide STEM Showcase is a dynamic celebration of Camden’s student innovation in science, technology, engineering, and math. Open to students from district, renaissance, and charter schools across all grade levels, the showcase features hands-on projects, interactive demonstrations, and opportunities to explore future STEM careers. This first-of-its-kind event brought together approximately 200 students from over 20 local schools, spotlighting Camden’s emerging STEM talent and reinforcing a citywide commitment to STEM education.
