Our Commitment
Design with Equity
Project Invent is committed to ensuring equally high outcomes for all participants in our program. Our goal is to decrease the opportunity gap in STEM and entrepreneurship, especially for Black, Indigenous, and LatinX youth. In accordance with our values, we strive to combat our unconscious biases and build an equitable program for all students, fellows, and community partners.
Our goal is to ensure every student has a clear path to success. We’re building a plan to get there.
1. Our Fellows
70% or more of recruited fellows teach at sites where more than half of the student body qualify for free or reduced-price lunch (FRL).
2. Our Students
50% or more of students in all our programs are Black, Indigenous, Latinx and/or would be the first generation in their family to attend college.
3. Our Team
Staff and Board are currently or formerly from the socioeconomic and racial backgrounds that roughly represent the communities we serve.
