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.
