About STEM-Trek Nonprofit
STEM-Trek is a U.S. public charity (501.c.3) that supports conference travel, mentoring and professional development for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) scholars from demographic groups that are typically underrepresented in their use of advanced cyberinfrastructure to accelerate scientific discovery. In addition to travel support, we provide a sustained psycho-social safety net that can help newcomers to the industry succeed. Beneficiaries are often from resource-constrained environments and encouraged to pay-it-forward by volunteering at home to serve organizations that also support education and workforce development, or by helping STEM-Trek in another way that fulfills its objectives. By encouraging volunteerism, socially-responsible innovation and awareness are inspired. We’re fully committed to building a bigger, and more diverse global HPC workforce.
