WASHINGTON, July 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Genesis and Genesis Inspiration Foundation helped strengthen opportunities for young people across the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area through a series of investments supporting youth sports, arts education, and hands-on science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics (STEAM) learning. Genesis Gives, the corporate social responsibility initiative of Genesis Motor America, delivered a hands-on STEAM workshop to students at YMCA Alexandria and supported the Washington Tennis & Education Foundation's work to provide academic support, life-skills development, and tennis instruction for underserved youth. Genesis Inspiration Foundation awarded a total of $75,000 in grants to the Children's Chorus of Washington, Alexandria Symphony Orchestra, and Del Ray Artisans to expand access to youth arts programs.

"Creating opportunities for young people to learn, create, and grow is central to our commitment to the communities we serve," said Brandon Ramirez, director, corporate social responsibility, Genesis Motor America, and board member, Genesis Inspiration Foundation.  "Through investments in arts education, youth sports, and STEAM programming, we are helping students develop the confidence, creativity, and skills that will support them throughout their lives."

Genesis delivered a STEAM education workshop in partnership with Child Creativity Lab at the YMCA Alexandria, engaging more than 40 elementary school students in an interactive experience focused on future mobility, sustainability, and creative problem solving. Students explored an all-electric Genesis vehicle and designed their own future mobility concepts using upcycled materials.

Genesis also supported youth development through a donation to the Washington Tennis & Education Foundation, an organization that provides academic support, life-skills development, and tennis instruction for underserved children throughout Washington, D.C.

As part of this regional effort, Genesis Inspiration Foundation awarded a cumulative $75,000 in grants to several nonprofit organizations dedicated to enriching the lives of children through arts education. Funding will help expand access to youth arts programming and creative learning opportunities throughout the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area.
