OUR MISSION:
As a part of his commitment to philanthropy, will.i.am launched the i.am.angel foundation in 2009 to TRANS4M lives through education, inspiration and opportunity. The i.am angel foundation administers charitable activities and programs targeted toward providing college preparation (i.am College Track), college scholarships (i.am scholarship), and Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts and Math programs (i.am STEAM).
OUR PROGRAMS
I.AM COLLEGE TRACK
i.am College Track empowers students to reach their dreams of a college degree through a comprehensive program providing social and academic support. 97% of our i.am College Track scholars will be the first in their family to attend college.
This partnership between the i.am angel Foundation, California Endowment and College Track provides students the resources they need to get into and graduate from college, while guiding them toward emerging careers in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math).
The i.am College Track program in Boyle Heights began with 60 high school students in 2012 and has grown to serve nearly 300 students today. Our first cohort of students graduated high school this summer, with 100% headed to college.
I.AM SCHOLARSHIP
We provide future leaders with financial assistance for a world-class education.
i.am Scholarship was launched in 2009 on The Oprah Winfrey Show when will.i.am granted full scholarships to four young students who were accepted into their dream universities but couldn’t afford to go. We have since provided thousands of dollars in scholarships every year to students in need.
In 2015, we launched the i.am ESRI scholarship in partnership with Jack Dangermond and ESRI to offer college scholarships to students excelling in geomapping technology.
In addition to helping students’ college dreams come true, i.am Scholarship supports study abroad opportunities. In partnership with APSA and the UCLA Confucius Institute, we provide scholarships for Boyle Heights students to study Chinese language and culture in Beijing, China.
I.AM STEAM
STEAM is Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, & Math.
We create STEAM programs that empower underserved youth to compete for high-tech jobs of the future. Our goal is to prepare our students to become the next generation of STEAM leaders and innovators.
We organize hackathons, coding classes, robotics teams, geomapping labs, 3D printing and design workshops. We provide technology such as 3D printers, laptops, creative software, and other pro tools to schools in need.
Partnering with FIRST Robotics, we have started and funded 17 youth robotics teams, teaching high-level engineering skills to over 400 students in underserved communities.
