Auth0 Funding Support for SCWIST to Engage Youth and Women in STEM Career Pathways
 

SCWIST would like to thank Auth0.org for its generous funding to engage youth and women in STEM career pathways through education, networking connections and mentoring support. The new funding will utilize a "Two-Eyed Seeing" Indigenous approach to education and mentoring, and will support Indigenous communities and other equity-seeking groups across Canada. This funding builds on the success and impact of Auth0 funding received in early 2022 for youth programs, which also engaged Auth0 employees to provide their volunteer time, expertise and passion to support SCWIST's vision and mission.

"We believe that inclusive access to education and technology are powerful enablers to elevate the human experience across the globe." SCWIST is very grateful and proud to be an Auth0 charitable organization partner, which includes "amazing change makers, globally-recognized institutions, and emerging social good orgs that are breaking down barriers and building people up – reaching new heights in what can be accomplished when care meets cause."
