About

At My Sister's Keeper Success Institute, we are targeting a serious concern regarding education equity. Not enough young people of color are developing the fundamental skills needed to succeed in STEM careers or in entrepreneurship, yet STEM is already rapidly growing as the highest-demand industry of the 21st century and business ownership is a key to wealth-building. 

 

BIPOC girls, specifically African American, Latinx, and Indigenous, are the least represented in STEM careers and higher education. We are focused on changing that narrative and creating opportunities for young women to lead important and groundbreaking changes that will impact not only their lives and communities but will change the world.

​

Our Goals​

 for our mentoring programs are:

​

• CREATE AND GROW A MENTORING ECOSYSTEM that is focused on bridging the diversity/gender gap seen in STEM industries and business ownership

 

•  GENERATE PATHWAYS for under-served and under-represented girls to explore careers in the STEM fields that they aspire to work in as well as business ownership, and other innovative ventures

​​

• INCREASE GIRLS’ MATH CONFIDENCE & FLUENCY and reduce math anxiety for girls, dispel stereotype threat, and create a strong foundation for STEAM learning

​​

• DEVELOP YOUNG WOMEN ENTREPRENEURS who use creativity and innovation to start businesses, have strong financial literacy, and business leadership skills

​​

• SET AN EXAMPLE for young women of resilience by mentoring and modeling strong habits of mind, life skills, leadership, and healthy life practices 

MSKSI inspires girls who are historically the most underrepresented in STEM and business ownership to be confident bold world changers through STEAM & Career Mentoring and Personal Development Programs.

​

We envision a world where minority women are no longer underrepresented in STEM or business ownership and they hold the power to create opportunities for themselves and others through bold confidence, exceptional emotional and analytical intelligence, self-awareness, creative problem solving and

innovative ideas.
