OUR MISSION To link women and girls of African descent to the resources that connect, advance, and strengthen them.
STSI authored a groundbreaking report, “Still I Rise: Status of Black Women and Girls in Westchester County,” in 2019. The four pillars highlighted in the research are the anchors of our collective impact workgroups: 1) Promoting education and careers in STEM and STEAM; 2) Health and Wellness Campaigns, serving as the leading voice in Westchester County on Black Maternal Health; 3) Entrepreneurship, Pay Equity, and a Black Business Directory; 4) Advocating for Juvenile and Social Justice via parent cohorts, equity toolkit, and more. STSI holds Special Consultative Status with the United Nations.
GIVING OPPORTUNITIES There are a number of ways to support STSI, including: • STEAM/STEM Summer Camp and Year-Round Academy (supporting tutoring, Mentoring Circles, field trips, etc.) • Reach for the Stars Higher Education Scholarship Fund • Westchester Black Maternal and Childcare Center of Excellence Fund • General Operating Funds
VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES “Try to be a rainbow in someone’s cloud.” Dr. Maye Angelo STSI has many events supporting women and girls that would benefit from volunteer support, including sharing one’s profession in a Mentoring Circle, one-on-one mentoring, chaperoning, shadowing opportunities, and internships for students.
