People of color standout in spaces beyond their appearance.
At TAF, we embrace standing out from the rest. We empower underrepresented students and teachers to stand up, and stand out in the world, allowing their brilliance and differences to shine and lead.
Be a part of the movement to transform public education for students and teachers of color, from kindergarten to college and beyond by pledging to support a student every month to stand out.
TAF partners with local schools, corporations, and community to equip underrepresented students and teachers with free public STEM education, professional development, and leadership skills. Our nonprofit supports future innovators and educators to stand out, in their schools, careers, and beyond.
See how TAF students, graduates, and educators stand out:
I will not be used as a token or to fill a mandated quota.
I will not be poached for diversity, for you to place a check mark in your box.
My abilities alone justify my presence.
I Stand Out, not because of my color, but because of the value I add, my perspective, because I am me.

#iStandOut Everyday in Corporate America - My face, my skin, my style, my culture, my presence, my voice is STILL not the norm but the exception. @STEMbyTAF

Do not STAND IN the crowd. You will look like everyone else.

Everything about the process of college was tenuous. Budgeting for app fees, attending open houses, navigating FAFSA, the moving. If I didn’t have programs like @STEMbyTAF helping me navigate & show me local schools, not sure I would have prepared to leap.

#iStandOut in my family as being one of a few to pursue higher education. I stand out in my graduate program as a person of color and Latina woman. I stand out in my field because of life experiences that drive me to create and sustain change in healthcare.

I'm a eclectic, formerly autistic, definitely gifted, Nigerian alto with a sense of fashion and musical passion, and that (among other things) is why #iStandOut ✌🏾

#iStandOut because my voice is unique. My style is unique. My music production is unique. And I own all of it.
