OUR MISSION
To link women and girls of African decent to the resources that connect, advance, and strengthen them.
HOW WE MAKE AN IMPACT
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 for 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.
