Latest $900,000 contribution supports STEM programming in 32 elementary student clubhouses
San Jose, California. , November 10, 2025 , prlog – The Boys & Girls Clubs of Silicon Valley (BGCSV) has received an additional $900,000 grant from ASML, a leading supplier to the semiconductor industry, to help fund STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) at its 32 clubhouses serving elementary students. BGCSV currently has 45 existing locations serving over 8,000 youth in Santa Clara County and has proudly partnered with ASML to leverage over $2.5M since 2020 in support of youth development in Silicon Valley.
“We are extremely grateful for ASML’s extraordinary investment in our students,” said Steve Wymer, president and CEO of the Boys & Girls Club of Silicon Valley. “ASML’s latest grant to BGCSV reflects their long-term commitment to disadvantaged youth and their years of investment in our community. This partnership demonstrates what is possible when innovation and meaningful corporate responsibility align to create a more inclusive tomorrow.”
On 6 November, a press conference was held at the BGCSV Alviso clubhouse. San Jose City Mayor Matt Mahan, San Jose City Council member David Cohen and others spoke at the event to commemorate the event.
“Here in the Capital of Innovation, we have a responsibility to ensure that opportunity reaches all of our children, no matter what neighborhood they are born in,” said Mayor Matt Mahan. “ASML’s generous investment in the Boys & Girls Clubs of Silicon Valley helps our youth gain the skills and confidence they need to advance in the industries that will shape our future.”
Following the press event, ASML officials, BGCSV leadership and elementary-aged club members hosted a robotics race with ASML volunteers using toy devices they built and coded themselves, demonstrating a shared commitment to inspiring curiosity and discovery in young learners.
“ASML’s continued investment in the success of students in our community is a reflection of the commitment to community that our employees want to reflect in every market we serve,” said ASML Community Engagement Program Manager Verona Nunez. “This new investment builds on the success of a $1.4 million grant awarded to BGCSV in November 2023, which expanded technology access and STEM programming for middle and high school youth and supported summer and teen programs. Advancing STEM equity and nurturing the next generation of innovators in Silicon Valley is extremely important to ASML and we are grateful for the opportunity to live out our company values in this meaningful way.”
