Founded in 1997, SisterMentors is a program of EduSeed, a nonprofit organization based in Washington, D.C. EduSeed's mission is to promote education among traditionally disadvantaged and underserved communities such as women and people of color. We help to advance the larger movement for equity and justice for people of color and other marginalized communities. We have helped over 100 women of color to earn higher education degrees including Ph.Ds. in Math, Science and Economics. Our overarching goal is to help women and girls of color live in freedom and dignity and to pass this on to the next generation. The women and girls are African Americans, Muslim Americans, Latinas, Asian Americans, immigrants, refugees and asylees.
