General Motors

Since 2021, First Book and General Motors (GM) have worked together to increase access to STEAM-focused resources and events across the First Book Network. We share a commitment to diversity in STEAM and strive to increase access to STEAM books with diverse characters, and engage GM employees across a variety of STEAM careers by sharing their own STEAM journeys. GM’s goals vary across two social impact pillars, Transportation and STEAM Education. The partnership with First Book falls under STEAM education, which has three objectives: Increase STEAM literacy with a focus on foundational reading, math and science skills; Increase equitable access to STEAM resources and professional development that accelerate classroom success; Increase individuals participating and succeeding in career and technical education.
