WHAT

WE DO


Our signature program is Vanguard: Conversations with Women of Color in STEM, an online platform and monthly web series focused on women and non-binary people of color in STEM. VanguardSTEM has grown into the online platform you’ve come to know and love because of a team of dedicated #WOCinSTEM volunteers. Through The SeRCH Foundation, Inc. we will keep building, keep pushing and keep making space for all people of color, non-gender conforming folks and others who live lives that are too-often marginalized in STEM and society.


OUR IMPACT

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

Donate
“Community-building; the feelings of being a positive influence on the mentees. Sharing my lessons learned was so rewarding.”
“Just being in the same dedicated spaces with other Black women and nonbinary scientists to uplift each other and be inspired by each other.”
“Connecting across generations and experiences, healing from academic and workplace trauma.”
