WNBA player Angel Reese partnered with 2K Foundations to give young female athletes access to mentorship and sports programming, according to AFROTECH.
Reese returned to her hometown, Baltimore, for the partnership, which supports female student-athletes at Crossroads Middle School through nonprofit STEM organizations Living Classrooms Foundation and Project Scientist, with a six-week STEM initiative.
“The Living Classrooms’ partnership with Angel Reese, the Angel C. Reese Foundation, and 2K Foundations reflects a shared belief that girls thrive when they are given access, encouragement, and real-world opportunities to explore who they can become,” said President and CEO of Living Classrooms Foundation James Piper Bond in a press statement.

“What starts today with 2K Foundations and the Angel C. Reese Foundation is not a moment—it’s a movement. The MeBound STEM Leadership Initiative with Project Scientist is a long-term partnership built to place girls at the center of STEM—leading with confidence, courage, and brilliance,” Dr. Patrice S. Johnson, CEO of Project Scientist, said.
