Building a better world through education

The Michigan region of ORT America raises funds to support the World ORT global network of schools and programs via its annual campaign and four annual fundraising events: WINGO, ORT and the City, Rub-a-Dub and Come ORT and Play. ORT America is the leading fundraising arm of World ORT, the largest non-governmental Jewish education organization in the world that provides education and training with an emphasis on STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) to over 200,000 individuals worldwide. This focus has evolved to meet the employment needs of a wide variety of industries in the telecommunications, robotics, bioengineering, biochemistry, natural gas, automotive and urban planning fields, and it prepares students to launch productive careers and lead fulfilling lives in an increasingly higher-tech society.
