Mission Statement
At Beneath and Beyond, we exist to interrupt cycles of educational inequity by standing beside minority and low-income students. Through mentorship, advocacy, and early intervention, we create equitable educational experiences, empowering students to rise beyond systemic barriers and thrive.
Description
Beneath and Beyond- We nurture what's beneath. We build what's beyond
Hi! My name is Aminat, and I founded Beneath and Beyond. This initiative was born out of a deeply personal experience involving a loved one who faced injustice within the education system. Initially, I set out to address that individual situation, but I soon realized how widespread and systemic the issue truly is.
Our goal is to stand up for students who may not have someone advocating for them. You can read more about the story that inspired it all in this case study: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1jArHQJkZz7E4lJeflYqqyq6exNOrYi7IomnJY03sAos/edit?usp=sharing
It helps explain why this work matters so much.
If you’re passionate about educational equity and are interested in getting involved in any capacity, I would love to connect! I am currently looking to bring on people who care, whether it’s as a volunteer, creative, mentor, or team member.
