Latinas in STEM

Who we are...

Since 2013, the volunteer-run Latinas in STEM Foundation, founded by Latina MIT alumnae, has been breaking down barriers for first-generation Latinas in STEM. We provide vital role models and support to combat limited outreach and awareness, driven by a nationwide network of professionals passionate about empowering the next generation.

Latinas in STEM is a community-driven force of STEM graduates and professionals. We work to inspire and empower young Latina students to pursue STEM careers, reaching into underserved communities and educating parents. Furthermore, we support Latinas already in the field, fostering a network where they can empower each other to thrive through mentorship and recognition.

What we do...

K-12 Outreach

The Latinas in STEM pipeline begins with inspiring K-12 students to pursue STEM careers and to empower parents with knowledge so that they may help their daughters achieve their goals. Inspiration comes from activities such as our signature STEM 101 Days, speaking engagements, and after-school and summer programs.

College Student Support

In addition to sponsoring college chapters, by working alongside community colleges and
four-year institutions we create a substantive college volunteering pipeline for K-12 outreach. We also match Latinas majoring in STEM fields to Latina role models who will provide students with the support and encouragement they require to achieve their educational and career goals.
