The EEOG's mission is to invest in students, create meaningful experiences and provide positive pathways for success. We believe that you cannot be, what you cannot see, and therefore, the EEOG centers its Programs around providing students with industry Experts focused on their personal success. We encourage students to pursue careers in the Science Technology Engineering Mathematics (STEM) profession and/or Entrepreneurship. EEOG is a culturally diverse organization centered in self-efficacy with a goal of meeting the unmet needs of today's students and tomorrow's leaders. The EEOG seeks to develop the minds of young people so that they are encouraged to become empowered by education. Education is key and the EEOG organization takes pride in bridging the gaps in the educational and economic disparities for low-income students in public education to create more first-generation college graduates. Based on our experience, intensive academic instruction during the academic school year which is further supplemented during the summer months promotes college and career readiness, particularly for students in grades 9th through 12th who have been identified as being at risk of dropping out of school as determined by attitudes and those that lack of self-efficacy (social pressure to perform the behavior), and perceived control (one's belief that he or she has the ability to perform the behavior). This collegiate and professional career preparatory program specifically creates an equal opportunity for all students, regardless of circumstances. In the EEOG program, all students are exposed to top industry leaders of many different professions to introduce them to different career paths. In addition, students are challenged to think independently and to problem solve while engaged in a variety of projects - key characteristics of a true leader. Overall, EEOG is committed to fostering a society of lifelong learners, preparing young leaders for the workforce, and affording them the opportunity to improve their overall quality of life by way of education.
