UMassGives 2026

STPEC has provided over 50 years of interdisciplinary programming that has challenged students to approach our most complex societal concerns with a critical analysis and transformative solutions. STPEC could not have thrived for this long without your help.
Your donation during this year’s UMassGives campaign will support student activism and internship work through the Sara Lennox Scholarship Fund and the STPEC Summer Grassroots Internship. As you know STPEC students bring their passion, time and talent to a variety of social issues. Over the past year STPEC students have:
- Written and published important investigative reporting pieces with The Shoestring, Amherst, MA.
- Served as an activity leader for the afterschool program at Fort River Elementary, Amherst, MA
- Served as an operations intern with Amherst Survival Center, Amherst, MA
- Worked as a legal intern with the Greenfield Court Service Center, Greenfield, MA.
- Served as editor to Media Voices for Children Magazine in Vineyard Haven, MA.
Your UMassGives contribution will help STPEC students bring what they’ve learned in the classroom to the real world. Because student activism and internship work are largely unpaid, STPEC students need financial assistance to pursue these opportunities. Please support the next generation of engaged scholars and activists.
Thank you
