What’s your Positive Future Vision?

FabNewport envisions a future where all youth possess the necessary skills, confidence, and commitment to make a positive impact on their communities and realize their future aspirations. We bridge the gap between youth and their positive visions through mentorship and year-round slate of activities and classes and throughout Newport County.

We have three major initiatives:

STEAM | Community Engagement | Career Pathways

STEAM: (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) : Robust middle and high school programs such as: Build a 3D Printer; Drones; Coding; Environmental Science; 2 and 3D Design; Sewing; Small-scale manufacturing; Entrepreneurship;  Jewelry making; and Painting

Community Engagement: 

• Working with more than 40 partners to realize the Big Idea–an equitable, youth-centered ecosystem of learning in Newport County–T
• Connecting with families and children
• Thought leadership

Career Pathways:

How can we expect children to know what they want to do if they haven’t experienced the world? We, therefore, engage hundreds of middle school children with community activities where they experience the people, places and things that make our community tick. Once the children turn 14 we offer paid internships where the youth develop professional skills and grow their knowledge in areas of their choice. We also provide mentorship.
