Ignite Arts & STEM Expands Community Impact Thanks to Slalom Consulting Partnership
Tarzana, CA – January, 15, 2024 – Ignite Arts & STEM, formerly Ashe Arts & STEM, is thrilled to announce a continued and expanding partnership with Slalom Consulting.

Together, they are committed to empowering BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) students in the Arts and STEM fields.
"We are humbled and grateful to have been selected for the Slalom SEI grant." says Crystal Jones, Board President at Ignite. "We look forward to the partnership with Slalom and are beyond excited to continue moving forward with this very important work that we do."
