Truthfully, my personal interest in STEM dwindled significantly after elementary school. Intimidation by the subject matter and lack of access to materials played a huge role in my disinterest in STEM, and unfortunately, many girls have similar experiences to mine. In fact, it’s an unfortunate reality that women of color, specifically Latina women, are severely underrepresented in the fields of STEM.

“We understand that providing flexible funding is key in allowing Adelante Mujeres to deliver critical resources to our Latinx community.”

During times of crisis like these, we are reminded to also take a step back and count our blessings. Thank you to our leading supporters: Legacy Health, Wells Fargo Bank, First Tech Credit Union, and CareOregon for your true heart and philanthropy.
