ANN ARBOR – Tamara Shoemaker, director of the Michigan Cyber Patriot program, said she needs help from Michigan businesses that want to keep her program, which trains grade school kids to become cyber professionals, doing its job.
Your support and contributions will enable us to meet our goals and improve conditions. Your generous donation will fund our mission.
Our Mission is to increase the number of Michigan Schools participating in the national CyberPatriot Program. Using this after school program we have inspired students to purse the exciting career of a Cybersecurity professional. MCISSE supports the teachers, schools, and the professional mentors. We are a coalition of Colleges and Universities dedicated to showing students a clear pathway from High School onto an Associates, Bachelors, Masters, or Doctoral degree in Cybersecurity, earning cybersecurity certifications all along the way.
We do this by providing in-person and on-line awareness presentations and training session across the state. We hold multiple Summer Camps across the state and hold an annual Awards event celebrating the student’s success. We attend cybersecurity associations recruiting volunteers for the mentoring program, and to increase corporate support of this program. It is our hope to have enough industry support to cover our expenses and to make sure that every school in Michigan can participate in CyberPatriot has the chance.

A donation of $1,500 pays for one week of CyberPatriot Summer Camp, a donation of $3,000 pays for two Instructors for those Summer Camps, and a donation $5,000 helps to offset the cost of lunch during our Spring Celebration. We appreciate all donations big or small that will bring us towards our yearly goal of $50,000 to run the Michigan CyberPatriot program at www.micyberpatriot.com.
